Hi Amy,

yes, people like ghosts, sex & crime, royalties and mysteries. And mummified cats. And prefer stories to history.

I am quite curious if such a tradition ever existed (imagine the smell) or was it just sucking up to public expectations?

Have a nice evening

Christian

Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such fun,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
