- Dick_Whittington_and_His_Cat abstract "Dick Whittington and His Cat is the name of English folklore surrounding the real-life Richard Whittington of the 14th century, wealthy merchant thrice Lord Mayor of London, alleging he escaped his poverty-stricken childhood and made his fortune thanks to the ratting abilities of his cat. However, the real Whittington did not come from a poor family and there is no compelling evidence that he owned a cat.The earliest recorded instance of the folklore in written form is a registry notice 1604-5 for a theatrical play. It has been known in ballad form, at least since the version published by Richard Johnson in 1612. The prose tale version is known, at the earliest, from a chapbook of 1656, by T. H. (possibly Thomas Heywood).The story was adapted into puppet play by Martin Powell in the early 18th century. Later, it has been performed as stage pantomimes and children's plays. It has also been retold as a children's story by a number of printers and authors to this day.The tale represents Aarne–Thompson (AT) tale type 1651, "Whittington's Cat". A number of foreign and medieval analogues exist to such a tale where the protagonist obtains his riches as recompense for his cat ridding some infested place of its rodent population.".
