About
I hold two degrees in history. I have a BA in European History and an MA in Antiquities and Classics. I also happen to be
autistic. I am super happy to be able to marry two of my special interests, history and folklore. Within every legend lies a historical grain of truth and common threads throughout the world. Please allow me to guide you on an adventure in search of the historical backstories of some of
today’s most famous legends.
