Had to google this one, sounds pretty interesting.

Canadian novelist Robertson Davies wrote a book called "The Cunning Man". I used to think he meant the traditional metaphorical meaning of "cunning", but, given the strong element of mythological tradition in his works, I'm thinking he probably meant one of these folks.

The "cunning man" prompt made me do this one...

"I have a plan, sir."

"A cunning plan, good Baldrick?"

"A very cunning plan."

If you know, you know....😂

The last line is so good! It’s a very apt description!

If you've never read Cadfael you should; there was also a BBC series starring Derek Jacobi.
