Andrew Lang - The King Who Would Have A Beautiful Wife

This episode: Andrew Lang story; trip to France and some unconventional hair styling tips.

Once upon a time, comedians Fiona Ridgewell & Louise Atkinson decided to start a podcast that explores fairy tales, folklore, myths, and legends. But, these aren't the nice, fluffy versions of the stories that everyone knows and loves. They're the original, darker, sordid ones from long ago, paired with some of the silly going ons in their lives.

In this episode, Fiona & Louise look at a story by one of the most famous fairy tale authors Andrew Lang and his story: The King Who Would Have A Beautiful Wife. A king is in search of a beautiful wife, but he can't be bothered to find one himself, so he sends a servant to find her, leading to a classic fairy tale mishap.

Louise & Fiona also talk about Fiona's trip to France and Louise's unconventional hair styling method.

Give it a listen and please like & subscribe on Youtube, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. Now, in the words of Giambattista Basile, from his story The Enchanted Doe - shut your mouths, open your ears and hear what I shall tell you. Hope you enjoy! :-)
