Alexander Maberry's Tales from the Tower

This is the fifth and final episode in our run of Christmas themed topics, and is also the final podcast of 2020. This week's episode is a reading of the poem The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver by Edna St. Vincent Millay, written in 1922.
I first heard this poem recited by the great American wizard Eugene Burger, who would use this poem during seances. Sadly Eugene Burger died on the 8th of August 2017 and so this episode is dedicated to him. Eugene Burger's work has been an inspiration to all at Alexander Maberry's Museum of Strange Things and indeed forms the foundation of much that we do.
We hope you enjoy this rendition of the poem and we'd like to wish all our listeners a happy and peaceful New Year.

Conwy's Little Mermaid - Read by Erwyd le Fol, the Conwy Jester
Long before Hans Christian Andersen put pen to paper to write his seminal work "The Little Mermaid" a little town on the North Wales coast was the scene of its very own mermaid tale.
The Conwy Mermaid is a 900-year-old legend that pre-dates the invasion of Wales by the English King, Edward 1st.
The best place to listen to this story is within The Jester's Tower, Conwy.
