Today's episode is extra special because I am joined by not one... two... but three of my best friends who I've known since I was a teenager! We have the return of Marvelous Maeve Sally and welcome Ellie Wilson and Megan (Meggylove) Reynolds! This episode was a bit of an impromptu, Breaking Bard 'on tour' last minute decision and took place while we were all on holiday visiting Maeve and her boyfriend Quentin's new house (and being reunited with my cat Elton) in the French countryside of the Périgord.
The story itself was suggested by my friend Constance Michel, thank you so much Consti! I hope you all enjoy learning about the life of Marie-Angélique Leblanc, a.k.a The 'Wild' Girl of Champagne, and about the 18th, 19th century obsession for stories of 'feral' children that would inspire the likes of Rudyard Kipling to write The Jungle Book, or Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan.
The truth behind these stories is a much sadder, less fantastical reality of child neglect and a closed-minded, colonialist society. Please let me know what you thought about this episode by rating and commenting and sharing with friends! Or email me at Breakingbardpod@gmail.com.
Cheers,
