The Cleaning Pooka of Kildare: Irish Folktale

from Tales From The Enchanted Forest · host Fox & Sparrow

In honour of St Patrick's Day, Fox and Sparrow look at an Irish folktale from the county of Kildare. In this quaint county, there is a grand manor with some peculiar goings on, and the servants are spooked. Little do they realize that a pooka, a trickster spirit, is the source. But is the Pooka here to help? Or does this fae creature have a more sinister plan for the manor? Enjoying the Podcast? We want to hear from you!
