Summary

How the fairies took away a child and put an old man in its place.

There was a man called Norman who had a wife and a child. One day he and his wife came home and the child had gone. In its place was an ugly little old man. They suspected the fairies had done this, as there was a fairy knoll close to them. They did not know how to get rid of the old man. Eventually, Norman met a man who gave him some advice. He went home and told the old man that the knoll was on fire. The old man hurried away. The next day the child was back in its cradle, unharmed.
