Peter selling pumpkins- “Peter, Peter, Pumpkin eater. Had a wife but couldn’t keep her;: He put her in a pumpkin shell: And there he kept her very well.”
Sounds an awful lot like what Arthur has done to Guinevere, doesn’t it?

Maybe because the illustrations in my fairytale books were so sweet… but I always thought that PETER PETER put his wife in a pumpkin shaped house…. it had flowers, window boxes and white picket fence so I never thought of her as being enslaved or kept for drudgery. Men in the old days did not marry till they could provide a proper home…… all a different point of view.
