Two stories this week! One from history and one fairy tale... In 1726 fifty miles outside of London, 24 year old Mary Toft did something extraordinary -- she gave birth to rabbits. Many, many rabbits. In "The Useless Wagoner" and "The King's Rabbits", our main character attempts to herd the King's hundred rabbits (WHY does the King have 100 rabbits??) while the King tries to set traps for our hero to fail at this task.
