The first act of Faust! Where we meet Faust and Mestopheles for the first. A bit of magic, a bet, plans, and a debate about learning. Nothing bad can happen from such a wonderful cast can it?

S4E5: The Oldest Tale
A Faustian tale. Well two actually. I tell the tales of The Smith and The Devil, an old Norwegian tale ( http://viseven.dk/albion/index_htm_files/The%20Smith%20and%20the%20Devil.pdf ) , and The Peasant and The Devil by the Grimms ( https://sites.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm189.html ) . I then have a very brief look at smiths in folklore and whether or not it is the oldest European folktale. A short episode with not much of a delve this time as have other things being planned ;)
