When was the first book of The Three Little Pigs written?

There isn't a single "first book" of The Three Little Pigs. The story of The Three Little Pigs is a folktale, meaning it was passed down orally through generations before being written down.

The earliest known written version of the story dates back to 1843, when James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps published a version in his book *Nursery Rhymes and Popular Tales*.

However, many variations of the story exist, and it's likely that versions of the tale were written down before 1843.
