Which fairy tale did Southey originally write?
"Goldilocks and the Three Bears"
"Cinderella"
"Peter Pan"
"The Snow Queen"
Answer
Contrary to popular belief, Southey did not write "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". The character of Goldilocks actually originated in an anonymous work titled "The Story of the Three Bears". Southey's contribution to the tale lies in his poem titled "The Three Bears", which popularized the names we know today - Goldilocks, Papa, Mama, and Baby Bear.
