My Own Self, Me Aan Sel or Ainsel is a Northumbrian fairy tale collected by the folklorist Joseph Jacobs. A version of the tale appears in Scottish Folk Tales by Ruth Manning-Sanders. It is Aarne-Thompson type 1137 , similar to the encounter between Odysseus and Polyphemus, and tells how a fairy is outsmarted by a human child through clever wordplay.
