Thank you! I love Reynard the Fox as well and am hoping it gets some coverage in my myths and legends class because that would be awesome. Right now we are still covering the cosmos of various religions, which is interesting but the cosmos of the Celts and Germanic peoples are... a bit intense in terms of how complex they are.

Update: next week is the final week of class and there was zero mention of Reynard the Fox. I would be mad, but we have covered soo much amazing material that it is hard to be mad over one legend being left out. We've done dragons, saints, devils, genies, werewolves and fox people, witches, wise women, Arthur, Robin Hood, etc. My prof read out a passage of Beowulf in Old English and I turned into a puddle of mush.

Tremendous as usual. Thank you for sharing your remarks of a really diverse nature. Quite a broad summation of a wonderful story from an amazing and unique past that I can be proud to associate myself with through your wonderful education as your brain gives us all.

Fellow '100 Day Cough' sufferer here, only 7 days in! Really enjoyed this month's video. I got The Palace by Gareth Russell off the back of your interview before Christmas and cannot wait to read it. Look forward to more of the interviews.

I like the intimate nature of the video, Dan. It is much better, IMHO than the audio only version. Well done.

I'm pleased the historian interview will be a recurring feature. It's a great way to get pointed into a direction that I would not necessarily stumble into myself. And historians gotta help each other out publicity-wise, right!

As always… very enjoyable !!! Thank you for taking the time to answer questions . Just finished Isn’t Mortimer’s Henry IV the Righteous King and am now reading Michael Livingston’s Crećy. I will remind you about the Prophecy of the Six Kings.

Any chance of your books, Realm Divided or Hollow Crown coming out in e-book form?
