Summary
A woman who was made to bake for the fairies, and how she escaped.
A woman was kept in a fairy knoll. She was told she could return home when she had baked all the flour in a chest. But the flour never ran out no matter how much she baked. One of the fairies told her that if she put the left over meal from the baking back into the chest, it would eventually empty and she could escape.
The contributor heard this story from a neighbour who was reputed to be able to cure the effects of the evil eye.
