The Truth About Hansel and Gretel Cautionary Tales with Tim Harford
-
- 歷史
Was the fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel - the story of a woodcutter’s children abandoned in the woods and left at the mercy of a witch - in fact, early true crime? A hit book - The Truth About Hansel and Gretel - said that historical records pointed to the story being based on fact. Are we too quick to dismiss the truth behind tall stories? Or are we always falling for tales that are too good to be true?
The first of two special Halloween editions of Cautionary Tales. Next up... The Mummy's Curse.
