Day 86 -> Scarborough's Fair was Real!

     I used to think that the traditional English canticle "Scarborough Fair" was about a mythical village, but it isn't the case: Scarborough really exists!
      It is located in the English county of North Yorkshire, in the coast of the North Sea. During the Middle Age, it was known for being a commercial point, and that is probably why the canticle was composed, though its author is still unknown. Scarborough is also famous for being the birthplace of the actor Ben Kingsley (Gandhi, anyone?) and for being quoted in Virginia Woolf's "Jacob's Room".
