Connla and the Fairy Maiden:

• Fiery Hair?
• The spell fairy all different ways 
• Fair maid thats doesn't get old nor does she die how nice
• I like how the story is more detailed then the ones I have read recently 

The Field of Boliauns:

• The picture of the old man is funny to me 
• Lady-day? Why is there no such thing in the real world
• I like how they exaggerated how small the old man was 
• I didn't think british people talked about leprechaun's, who knew  

The Horned Woman:

• Is she a real mistress, or is that what they are just calling women?
• Id be mad too if I had a horn growing out of my forehead
• The whole story was interesting, and nicely detailed 
• Great cries made me think of witches laughing  a lot

The Shepherd of Myddvai:

• Weird names for things
• People marry so easy 
• Those that die go out of trouble, sounds kind of harsh because thats still trouble for them 
• In the middle of the story there is a rhyme,  it adds something different to the story 

The Sprightly Tailor:

• The same old man is in a bunch of the pictures 
• Never heard of the kind of clothing in this story
• Even though it wasn't perfect he still got his reward 

Munachar and Manachar:

• The two things make me think of a gremlin especially from the picture on the page 
• The first paragraph made no sense at all
• Lots of things can talk in this story 
• Not much makes sense at all
• Its my own news makes no sense 
• Manachar burst anyways
