    I'm currently looking for traditional artists to produce illustrations to be integrated into future videos in this series to bring to life key moments within the story. If you're an artist with experience drawing landscapes and historical/fantasy characters and were inspired by this video then get in touch via my website: mossybottom.ie. I'd love to hear from you!

    My goodness, you are such a storyteller. I know you are single, but after some of these heartfelt, intimate and evocative videos there are surely women who have fallen for you very hard. Thank you so much for sharing your gift and for being so unafraid to put your introverted self out there. As a fellow introvert - it's admirable and courageous. I hope you see this comment!

    This tale certainly reflects the wild climate , the harsh terrain, the struggle the Irish people have to bear with that. Their Fairy tales and quite macho superstitions, the pain,the fear, the guilty feelings. Also their relentless bravery to survive and their generosity. It is nice you have gone to same place to tell the folklore tale although it is now a barren land instead of a woodland. It is quite difficult to try to translate your thoughts into a different language of yours but I think I am understood. The tale has touched me. Thanks for sharing your performance on the spot that makes the tale more true.

    I think you heard this story first in the local pub ! Such an old fashioned country folk tale - reminds me of days in my great grandmother's kitchen with hot scones & butter, a fire going in the old black stove, and plenty of kids arguing about nothing ! And I'm 82 now & that memory was in London, but the old life was so similar everywhere in those days !

Thank you for sharing this beautiful part of southern Ireland, county Kerry, the cliffs of Dooneen and the mighty salmon River Shannon. The Mississippi and Missouri rivers of Ireland. Have a listen to the song by the late Liam Clancy of the Clancy brothers and Thomas Makem era, a song called Shenandoah you'll find it on UA-cam Daniel. Enjoy!!!

    So lovely, Daniel. Your storytelling keeps getting better and better. I grew up reading folktales from other countries, and appreciate that many do not have typical happy endings. What a fascinating place...there is nothing like standing at 'Land's End', facing the great, wide ocean (even if for me it's the Pacific). I have studied the Napoleonic Wars, and an invasion of Ireland was a consideration. Thank you for bringing us along on your travels. Cheers from California.
