George herself successfully communicated with a female wolf. ![]() ![]() She allegedly witnessed a man bite the wolf on the top of its nose and communicate with it in soft whimpers, and "the incident stayed with George". Īt the Barrow Arctic Research Lab, George observed scientists who were studying wolves and attempting to break their communication code.

Though written about the early 1400s, for hundreds of years audiences have found this piece of historical fiction relevant to their wars. Henry V portrays events immediately before and after Henry's miraculous victory at the Battle of Agincourt (1415), a major turning point in the Hundred Years' War (when the English and the French squabbled over who had rights to the French crown). In Henry V, "Wild Prince Hal" has long since grown up into a capable king who is determined to invade France and lay claim to the French throne. In the earlier works, Shakespeare portrays Henry's days as a wild and reckless teenager. ![]() Written around 1599, Henry V is the final play in William Shakespeare' second tetralogy, a group of history plays that includes Richard II, Henry Part 1, and Henry IV Part 2.

Greta is miles away, sitting at a desk in her own house, wearing only headphones, fingerless gloves, a kimono, and legwarmers, transcribing this disembodied voice. Greta and Big Swiss are not in the same room, or even the same building. Nor has Greta actually ever been to Switzerland. Well that’s how Greta imagines seeing her they haven’t actually ever met in person. She’s a head-turner: including the heads of infants and dogs. Greta can see her now: dressed top to toe in white, that adorable gap between her two front teeth, her penetrating blue eyes. Beagin holds an MFA in creative writing from the University of California, Irvine. That’s Greta’s nickname for her – she is tall, and she is from Switzerland.
