Fairy and Rural Tales- Short and sweet
Kerrigan
These tales are amusing but most are *very* short. I would have loved to have heard the tales lengthened and fleshed out. I guess they are what they are. Although the tales are ostensibly Welsh, several feature Irish people and the last one is in French. ??
