“Every day I learn something new about Ireland and the gifts of Irish people to the world.  Most people don’t know that Hallowe’en started in Ireland, or that Irish monks preserved the scientific, artistic and literary treasures during the Dark Ages, introducing them during the age of Enlightenment.

And while most people think they know what a Leprechaun is, few know the legends and sagas of the Fairy world.  The wee folk are not all nice and some things are prescribed for protection.  For instance, you need to know how to keep Fairies from stealing your baby. You just need a silver bell on the cradle, and I’ll be happy to sell you one.”
