《姜饼人》是一个在美国口口相传的民间故事。它第一次被印成文字，是在1875年5月的美国儿童杂志《圣尼古拉斯》上，当时的题目叫《姜饼男孩》。杂志编者写道：这个故事是一个来自缅因州的女孩讲给她家孩子们听的，而那个女孩小时候，又是从一位老太太那里听来的。也就是说，在被写下来之前，它早就在人们嘴边流传很久了。
The Gingerbread Man is an American folk tale passed down by word of mouth. It was first printed in May 1875 in St. Nicholas, an American children's magazine, under the title The Gingerbread Boy. The editor wrote that a girl from Maine had told it to the family's children, and that she had heard it as a child from an old lady. In other words, people had been telling it long before anyone wrote it down.
民间故事研究者把这一类故事叫做"逃跑的煎饼"，编号ATU 2025。世界各地都有它的"亲戚"：挪威讲的是一张逃跑的煎饼，俄罗斯讲的是一个圆滚滚的小面包"科洛博克"，英国还有一块会跑的玉米饼。姜饼本身也很有历史，它是用生姜、蜂蜜或糖浆和面烤成的，在说英语的国家，人们特别喜欢在圣诞节前后烤姜饼小人。
Folklorists call this kind of story The Runaway Pancake, type ATU 2025. It has relatives all over the world: in Norway it is a runaway pancake, in Russia it is a round little bun called Kolobok, and in Britain there is a runaway johnny-cake made of cornmeal. Gingerbread itself has a long history. It is baked from dough made with ginger and honey or syrup, and in English-speaking countries people love to bake gingerbread men around Christmas.
