“Long ago there lived a man named Shaun Murnane and he was a great fiddler.”
(continued from previous page)for it.
One night Shaun went to a dance and they were playing and Shaun said "I bet you any of you can't play this tune".
He started to play it and a crowd of fairies came down the chimney and carried him up with them and he screeching and when he was gone the house got as still as death.
Poor Shaun was never again seen after that.- Collector
