King Log

Product Information

According to the earliest source, Phaedrus, the story concerns a group of frogs who called on the great god Zeus to send them a king. He threw down a log, which fell in their pond with a loud splash and terrified them. Eventually one of the frogs peeped above the water and, seeing that it was no longer moving, soon all hopped upon it and made fun of their king. During the lifetime of Elizabeth II, we did not necessarily dare. Certainly because we respected her too much.”

The Duke’s apparent change of heart concerning his family comes 11 months after he demanded “accountability” as a precursor to any chance of reconciliation. Scobie said that reconciliation would only be possible if the brothers could shed their anger and jealousy. She “is said to have persuaded Charles to withdraw the use of Frogmore Cottage” from the couple, Scobie claims.

Innocuous as the Labyrinth's sculptures might seem at first, this grove of love was not free from the sort of political messages that were starting to be stamped all over the rest of the Parc. When his memoir, Spare, was published in January, he made it clear that he believed they owed him an apology and said the “ball was in their court”.

In his interview with the magazine, Scobie noted that when he started writing his book, Elizabeth II was still alive.

This feeling of excitement around William, I never felt it around Charles,” he added. Scobie’s struggles after Finding Freedom Jupiter saw what simple and foolish creatures they were, but to keep them quiet and make them think they had a king he threw down a huge log, which fell into the water with a great splash. The Frogs hid themselves among the reeds and grasses, thinking the new king to be some fearful giant. But they soon discovered how tame and peaceable King Log was. In a short time the younger Frogs were using him for a diving platform, while the older Frogs made him a meeting place, where they complained loudly to Jupiter about the government. When his younger son flew to London to attend a High Court hearing in March, the King ignored his request for a meeting, according to Endgame. Atwood, Margaret.

Earlier musical settings included one by Louis-Nicolas Clérambault of words based on La Fontaine's fable (1730s) [23] and Louis Lacombe's setting of La Fontaine's own words (Op. 72) for four men's voices as part of his 15 fables de La Fontaine (1875). It also figures as the third of Maurice Thiriet's Trois fables de La Fontaine for four children singing a cappella. Scobie said that wild rumours were circulated to try to discredit his work, including the false claim that he was paid a salary by the Sussexes.To teach the Frogs a lesson the ruler of the gods now sent a Crane to be king of Frogland. The Crane proved to be a very different sort of king from old King Log. He gobbled up the poor Frogs right and left and they soon saw what fools they had been. In mournful croaks they begged Jupiter to take away the cruel tyrant before they should all be destroyed. Meanwhile, Scobie describes the ultimately unsuccessful plan to offer the property to the scandal-hit Duke of York, “the true pariah of the clan,” as “incomprehensible”.
