Summary - The tale of 'an Tuairisgeul Mòr'.

A well-known folk tale which tells the story of how the King of Ireland's son must find out how the Tuairisgeul Mòr met his death. After losing at cards, he is put under a spell. Therefore, to set himself free, he must go on a quest to find the answer to the question. He meets characters such as Seann Rìgh na h-Inid, and is aided by magic items such as a stick, a shoe, and a ring. Ultimately, he is victorious and, as is customary in this genre, a marriage takes place at the end.
