Note from Annette
Today, enjoy one of my periodic podcasts!
My next written post, on Saturday, will catch up everyone on News from Non-Boring House, plus, for Nonnies (paid subscribers) only, I’ll take a look back after twenty years at the very first program I organized for the public: An outdoor history event for kids in the small Southern town of Statesboro, Georgia, which later inspired my time-travel novels.
Soon, I will be back in Georgia to speak in schools, and in Saturday’s post, I’ll announce three upcoming in-person events, including one exclusively for Nonnies, paid subscribers of Non-Boring History.
Don’t miss out on any of it. Become a Nonnie, a paid subscriber, and enjoy exclusive up-close and behind-the-scenes posts, as well as events, commenting privileges, and the pride that comes from supporting my continued full-time work to bring Non-Boring History to everyone.

Today, here’s your chance to listen to the first part of my epic two-parter on Unravelled Dreams, historian Dr. Ben Marsh’s book on the rise of sericulture (silkworm farming) Yeah, I know that doesn’t sound thrilling. But please trust me: It is, and investing your time will make you glad you did. And Part 2 will seal the deal.
This is the post that’s featured in this podcast.
Here’s industrial-scale silkworm cultivation today, in Japan:
Part 2 of the podcast will appear soon, when we’ll follow the silkworms’ tale to England and Virginia. It’s a whole other story.
