Once upon a time, when eagles built their nests in the beards of giants, a green-coated lad with a stick in his hand and a bundle of bannocks over his shoulder, went out on the rocky roads of the world to push his fortune. Along the way, he saw the fairy queen Una in his dreams, and as is the custom, she granted him three wishes... A wonderful story which has all of the wayward charm of which Irish literature is so full.
