“The House that Jack Built” is a standard of juvenile literature that delights children and adults alike with the increasingly lengthy sentences, stretched to the breaking point, that make up its narrative.

You can read along with this recording by linking to the facsimile edition of an 1880 publication at the Children’s Digital Library (Summary by Denny Sayers)
