There is a VERY recent kid's book out of this with some great artwork. It's by some fellow from the town where Utah Phillips lives---Nevada City in California.

Since he never asked politely to use the tale I told for so many years even while it wasn't mine, and he never gave credit where it was due either, I'm choosing to not mention his name here. I hope he makes a few million bucks from N. Howard "Jack" Thorp's great old tale. ;-)
