The Four Skillful Brothers
Oct 13, 2024•1 hr 9 min•Season 7Ep. 1
Episode description
We’re back with a brand new series and a brand new volume of tales...
And we begin with The Four Skillful Brothers, a story of masterly thievery, improbable astronomy, dastardly dragons, and a man who sews up eggs.
After the story, we explore its origins before doing a deep dive on dragons: including the history of rescuing princesses from dragons in storytelling, and a patriotic stretch where we look into the Welsh red dragon and the story of St. George.
We can’t wait to get stuck into Volume 2; thanks for sticking around!
Theme music: Bicycle Waltz by Goodbye Kumiko
Other Music: Dvorak's Romance for violin and piano, performed by Goldstein and M Pavel // Schubert's Fantasy in C Major Op.15 D.760 'Wanderer' - I. Allegro con fuoco
