As to the Ogres in Perrault, a very few words may suffice. They are simply the survival, in civilised folklore, of the cannibals, _Rakshasas_, _Weendigoes_, and man-eating monsters who are the dread of savage life in Africa, India, and America. Concerning them, their ferocity, and their stupidity, enough will be said in the study of _Le Petit Poucet_. As to the name of Ogre, Walckenaer derives it from _Oigour_, a term for the Hungarian invaders of the ninth century, a Tartar tribe[33]. Hence he concludes that the Ogre-stories are later than the others, though, even if 'Ogre' meant 'Tartar,' only the name is recent, and the Cannibal tales are of extreme antiquity. Littre, on the other hand, derives _ogre_ from _Orcus_, _cum Orco rationem habere_ meaning to risk one's life. Hop o' my Thumb certainly risked his, when he had to do 'cum Orco,' if Orcus be _Ogre_ (_Lettres sur les Contes de Fees_, p. 169-172). [Footnote 23: Fauno fuit uxor nomine Fatua. Justin, xliii. I.
