    Default Is is a good title for a presentation?

    Hi there,

    I am writing a presentation about an Oliver Cromwell's Head (it is a great story for those interestet in history). Anyway, I would like to give a good title to my first slide. I was thinking of 'Strange Tale of Oliver Cromwell's Head'. My question to you, lovely people, is whether it would be better to use a word 'tale' or 'case' or maybe you have other recommendations? In fact this story is based on legends, really. There is very little proof that it happened for real.
    Last but not least should I use the article 'the' at the beggining of the title, should I name it 'the strange...'?
    I want my first slide to be near enough perfect. It is the first thing that the audience will see and I want to make sure that it has no mistakes.

    I'll appreciate any feedback.

    It's a matter of personal preference, but I would use "Case" and "The" should be in front of it - The Strange Case of...Using "Tale" somehow moves the matter from it could have happened to it did not happen. A tale is usually thought of as a story that is not true.
