What Women most Desire

RichardThis is a very old tale, sometimes known as The Loathly Lady, sometimes as The Wife of Bath's Tale from Chaucer's version in The Canterbury Tales.

When I told at the 2009 ZauberWort storytelling festival in Nuremberg, a member of the audience took some photos and a couple of video clips.

Watch a half-minute clip of my (rather scurrilous) version of the tale.

Read the Nürnberger Nachrichten review (in German), or an English translation.

Watch another clip from the same performance: The Old Woman and her Pig
