11: The Pastor's Wife

Summary: Get the tissues out, listener, this one is a doozy. The Pastor's Wife is a Danish folktale that is super depressing—and problematic. Firstly, our heroine decides she doesn't want children (THE NERVE!) What's a 16th century pre-birth control married fox to do, but throw some stones down a well? We all know this ends badly, right?
