Listen "43. The Wedding Of Mrs Fox"
Episode Synopsis
In Jacob Grimm's official favourite story, a jealous fox puts his wife to the test by playing dead. But will any of her new suitors hold a candle to her late husband's attributes? As their family cat servant tries to control the ensuing mayhem, we get an impromptu crash course in butter beer and bread milk making.
Find out how this strange story taps into a world of suppression in occupied Napoleonic Germany, why it doesn't pay to indulge your jealousy, and what someone called Wooden Johannes has to do with it all.
What at first appears as nothing more than a wacky story, gets right to the heart of debates on fairy tales and crosses continents in an explosive meeting of east and west.
