Show Notes
According to legend, two green children wandered into a village in 12th-century Suffolk. No one knew who they were or where they came from. Their refusal to eat and unfamiliar language made locals wary. Over time, they gradually assimilated and told a fantastic story of their origins.
Were they fairies? Lost children with big imaginations? Extraterrestrials? The fever dream of medieval chroniclers?
