Episode 3 of our exploration of the old English Bestiary takes us across the ocean to discover the world of lions, elephants and Ibex of the medieval world.
There are some dark folkloric characters explored in this podcast and so, as always, I would recommend that you should listen through first before listening with younger members of your household.
