The Enchanted Deer is a short story following Ian, a poor fisher's son in Erin, who trades his cart-horse for a gun, a dog, and a falcon — a decision that launches him into an extraordinary journey. When a deer he is meant to shoot transforms into a dark-haired woman, Ian follows her across moorland and through deadly encounters with robbers, only to find himself bewitched into sleep at the threshold of a church — just as a princess from a kingdom under the sea tries to reach him. Driven by love and loyalty, Ian pursues her through enchanted lands where birds, magic shoes, and a box of tiny helpers guide his path.

The Castle of Kerglas is a Breton fairy tale following Peronnik, a wandering idiot who survives on the kindness of strangers and can sing like a lark.

The Stones of Plouhinec is a Breton legend about a cunning beggar who overhears a secret: once every hundred years, the great standing stones of Plouhinec leave their places to drink at the river, exposing vast treasures beneath.

As the stones thunder back across the moor on New Year's Eve, Bernèz faces certain death — until a small act of faith he performed earlier that day changes everything.

"How Brave Walter Hunted Wolves" is a short story about six-year-old Walter, who loudly boasts he could take on four wolves at once — until a real hunt is proposed. Armed with a dented drum, a tin sabre, and a burnt-cork moustache, Walter ventures alone into the woods toward a kiln where wolves have killed a ram. The closer he gets, the more his courage crumbles. When a shaggy creature bursts from the shadows and gives chase, Walter's bravado collapses entirely — and what follows is both mortifying and warmly comic.
