Welcome to AirNenky's Cabinet of Curiosity's, a production of I Heart Radio and Grimm

and Mild.

Our world is full of the unexplainable.

And if history is an open book, all of these amazing tales are right there on display,

just waiting for us to explore.

Welcome to the Cabinet of Curiosity's.

It's the quiet ones who often surprise us.

The ones with their nose in a book or their head in the clouds.

They're the people who are quietly watching the world, learning how it works and what makes

everything tick.

People like Elizabeth Smith, born in Huntington, Indiana in 1892.

Smith lived all over the country, first in Indiana, before moving to Ohio to attend college

for a few years.

She left school to help her alien mother in 1913 until transferring to Hillsdale College

in Michigan to finish her first degree.

While in school, Smith discovered a love of language, many of them, in fact.

Though she earned her degree in English literature, she also managed to squeeze in German,

Latin and Greek, with a side of poetry.

Smith studied works by great English authors, but it was her love of Shakespeare that earned

her one of her first jobs out of college.

She had gone to visit the Newbury Library in Chicago to see a collection of the Bard's

first plays, known as the First Folio.
