The child soldiers of WWII.

The dark origins of fairy fiction.

That time when people thought they were made of glass.

That time when Chile (briefly) ruled the waves.

The days of body-snatching and burial reform.

Our mysterious brains.

The Soviets and the Cambridge Five.

A centenarian's adventurous life.

That time when the British Parliament burned down.

The surprisingly complicated history behind a murderer's preserved head.

That's all for this week!  See you on Monday, when we'll meet a ghostly Satanic coven.  Fun for the whole family!  In the meantime, here's Tracy Nelson.
