Thank you for these videos. I went to primary school in Suffolk, and grew up on Ladybird books, Enid Blyton tales and English annuals - used to go into Bury to buy books from W.H. Smith. I could listen to the Suffolk accent forever - takes me right back to everything I loved about attending school in Wickhambrook.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment :) Wickhambrook, I know it well, and Bury too. I lived there for awhile, and I too loved the W.H. Smiths there!!! I was always in there, both as a child when my family visited, and as an adult when I lived there. I always remember hearing the old cattle market before actually seeing it :)
I'm enjoying the stores. Thank you for recording them. I've been listening to them at work, but I think my daughter would enjoy them, so I'm going to have her listen in the evenings (especially since school is out for the summer, she'll have some time).
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I'll be sharing more as time goes on, and I really appreciate that you wish to share them with your daughter. These tales have been told to so many over the years, it's a tradition we need to keep in these modern times I think :)
The language has a wonderful flow. I learned of this version in middle school, but it only had the moments related to the salt, and I think it lost some of its beauty by leaving the rest of the story out. I hope you keep it up! Been loving everything from this channel 🌸🥰🕊️✨🍃🌟
Thank you so much, I'm so pleased to hear that you've been enjoying my little videos :) I wonder how many stories are out there with parts missing, as you mentioned from your experience of this one. People are getting only half a tale, as the saying goes :)
I remember a story similar to this with the same name. Also there is a similar scenario at the beginning of Shakespeare's King Lear, when Cordelia refuses to declare her love for her father and is cast aside. Which is a more tragic version of a much older story.
I know exactly the piece you're referring to in King Lear (great minds think alike!) I thought the same thing when I first read this version of Cap o' Rushes years ago.
That's a terrific story. Thanks for everything. I'll have to listen to Black Shuck next.
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you liked it! And thank you for your kind words, they mean a lot :)
