What is the history of the 3 little pigs story?

This story is referenced in the 3rd episode of "Raised by Wolves" at HBO Max so I wondered what the history of the story actually was:


 Traditional versions. "The Three Little Pigs" was included in The Nursery Rhymes of England (London and New York, c. 1886), by James Halliwell-Phillipps. The story in its arguably best-known form appeared in English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs, first published on June 19, 1890, and crediting Halliwell as his source.
