Tales From the Otherwood
Jeffrey Hudson: The Queen's Dwarf
Now 10 years old, young Jeffery is sent as part of an envoy for Queen Henrietta Maria to her home country of France.
Jeffrey will learn what it is to be loved and adored and yet..... events beyond his control will teach him a stark reminder of what the outside world away from the royal courts is truly like.
If this is the first time you have found this podcast (Greetings and welcome!), scroll until you see 'Jeffrey Hudson: The Boy in the Pie' before listening to this one.
CONTENT WARNING:
This episode contains mention of death in infancy and a discussion on appropriate terms for People with Dwarfism. I apologise in advance if I stumble or slip on both parts and mean no offence whatsoever.
The paths the chat section takes are not down the folkloric routes as such, as they take us to some lore about Jeffrey Hudson himself!
