where was goldilocks and the three bears written

The exact origin of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” is a bit debated, but the earliest written version we have comes from England. Here’s a breakdown:

• First Recorded Version: In 1831, Eleanor Mure wrote a version of the story as a gift for her nephew. This predates the more well-known version by Robert Southey.
• Southey’s Version: Robert Southey published his version of the tale, titled “The Story of the Three Bears,” in 1837. This is likely the version most familiar today.
