SOMETHING EXTRA

Beginning 2020 with a folktale opening from Jack the Giant Killer collected by Katharine M. Briggs.

“Once upon a time, and a very good time it was, when pigs were swine and dogs ate lime and monkeys chewed tobacco, when houses were thatched with pancakes, streets paved with plum pudding, and roasted pigs ran up and down the streets with knives and forks in their backs crying 'come and eat me'!”
From Jack and the Giant Killer collected by Katharine M. Briggs.
