The Fairy Nurse

"The Fairy Nurse" is a short Irish fairy tale in which a farmer's wife near Coolgarrow is spirited away in the night by fairy folk, leaving her husband and children behind in grief. The story unfolds through a brave midwife drawn blindfolded into a fairy rath, who glimpses the captive woman and learns of a desperate chance for rescue — a moonlit roadside encounter where one man must hold fast against the full fury of the fairy court. Rooted in rural folklore, the tale bristles with dread, tenderness, and a sharp warning about the cost of curiosity.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
