How Jack Went to Seek His Fortune - An English Folktale

Listen on

Episode notes

'How Jack Went to Seek His Fortune' is a fun version of 'The Bremen Town Musicians' and an excellent foil to the American idea of the solitary Hero's Journey. Jack can't get his fortune without the animal friends he meets along the way.
