Ireland has given birth, or perhaps merely hosted as they pass through, some of the most wonderful and glorious of all fairy tales - some of them including Real Fairies. This evening you may hear tell of the devil, a corpse that needs to be buried by dawn, how the good people celebrate Halloween, a changeling child, a poor mermaid and something really horrible
