Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry — Part 14 of 25 Three tales from Yeats's great collection. In "The Pudding Bewitched — Part Two", the wedding pudding will not stay in its dish: it dances out of the kitchen, leads the whole wedding party a chase down the road, and only Harry Connolly's quick swap brings the feast — and a roomful of dancing clergy — to rights. In "The Legend of O'Donoghue", the old chieftain of Ross Castle walks the waters of Killarney's lake and rides out in splendour on May morning, glimpsed once in a generation. And in "Rent-Day", tenant Bill Doody pays his rent in fairy gold that turns to gingerbread in the agent's hands — yet somehow Bill is never the poorer for it.
