(Sort of) The Story
Two best friends tell each other stories they heard and read that week (and also, you are here!)
(Sort of) The Story
131. I’d Risk It All for a Pear (and I might stop for a popcorn shrimp...)
On this episode, Janey is going to tell us about a sarcastic little cat who doesn't have time for the prince's sh*t today, and Max is going to tell us the origin of Tom Thumb. Did you know King Arthur is a key player in Tom Thumb's life? Because we sure didn't! Enjoy!
Janey's Sources - The Little White Cat
- “Irish Folk and Fairy Tales” edited by J.K. Jackson
- Free Text
Max's Sources - Tom Thumb
- “The History of Tom Thumbe, the Little, for his small stature surnamed, King Arthur's Dwarfe: whose Life and adventures containe many strange and wonderfull accidents, published for the delight of merry Time-spenders” written by (possibly) Richard Johnson
- “The Grave of Tom Thumb” on Atlas Obscura
