9 min - The Blue Fairy Book - The History of Whittington, Pt. 1
If my favorite types of stories are those that tell the origin of a thing or place, then my second favorite are historical tales, like 'The History of Whittington'. They so chock full off falsehoods they're amazing portraits of early propaganda.
