S1E6 - Puss in Boots: The Animal as Helper

Animals appear often in fairy tales and folklore, and the most famous Animal as Helper is perhaps none other than our favorite booted feline, Puss in Boots (or The Master Cat). In this episode, let's start with Charles Perrault's version of "The Master Cat" to examine what this story meant in 17th century France, then we'll hear the story that inspired it, "Costantino Fortunato," and finally, explore the animal-human connection with "The Prince Who Befriended the Beasts."
