  1. A Fairy Story

    Share Share Post
    On Miss Maria O'Donnell's farm there is a field called the Burnedland and at the head of it there is a thorn bush called the Black-Bush. It is said that long ago faries were seen there. People said that it should not be cut and one man said that he would cut it.
