Welcome to the first two handed (woo hoo!) Puppet History and the first Greek Myth Puppet History telling the story of the Titans and the origin of the Cornucopia (or the horn of plenty - you see it a lot in art).

Henry VIII was king of England in the early 1500s, and today he is going to tell you about his six wives . He had a lot of wives and we will find out a little bit more about them all today! We’ll hear about Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Catherine Parr. Hope you enjoy and stay safe! xxx
Gastone introduces us to the last tyrannical King of Rome Tarquinius; Lars Porsena, an Etruscan king and enemy of Rome; and the early Roman heroes defending their city like Gaius Mucius Scaevola, the wonderfully named Horatius Cocles (has to be the name of your next cat) and the heroic self-sacrifice of Marcus Curtius. There are also some crucified dogs (poor dogs ☹).
Hi all, Gastone/Pachi is back with another fascinating talk looking at Roman Education and the importance of public speaking, logic and rhetoric and how it made the Roman's different from the 'Barbarians'! He also brings in a bit of contemporary politics - a reminder that learning about history is learning about our world today.
