Grimm Reading

56. Puss In Boots


Listen Later

Happy Grimm new year! We’re kicking things off with a surprise story – the one and only Puss in Boots. 

When the family cat suddenly demands a pair of boots, a poor young miller spends his last few coins granting the cat's wish. A idiotic whim or the investment of a lifetime? Join us on the classic adventure of Puss in Boots, where we see our furry hero outsmarting, outwitting and outdressing everyone who comes in his path!

We then hear about the many guises of puss in boots from the global oral folk tradition, before embarking on a trip through the canals of time as we see 'Her Pussyship' develop as a literary character, from late-medieval Venice to Antonio Banderas.

Finally, we reveal the results of our last story poll and launch the first poll of 2021.
