90. The Real Dick Whittington

The tale of Dick Whittington (and his cat) is one that has
flowered through folklore and onto the stage, becoming a
pantomime staple several centuries after London's most popular
medieval mayor left his mark on the capital. The original rags to
riches story, a young boy eaves his home in the country in search
of fortune and his place in the world, naturally he heads for
London, where he is told, the streets are paved with gold! But
who was Dick Whittington, and why do we still tell stories of
this man several hundred years after his death? Listen now to
find out the facts behind the fable...
