KIDS STORIES
About this episode

Welcome back! I am so delighted to bring you this beautiful old tale from Ireland! It is one I was very fond of as a child and I would read it over and over again, its beauty and sadness were enthralling to me.  A king remarries and his new queen grows jealous of his beloved children. Soon, a wicked plan is put in action and the children are doomed to a terrible fate, but can the spell be broken and the children set free?
