Inhaltsangabe:
Set in the nineteenth century, a boy working in the dining car of the Great Midland West Ireland Railway is asked by the mysterious Mr Cink to judge a story telling contest between some unlikely competitors. Mr Fee tells the story of Micky Mealiffe, who gets his living from the contents of ships wrecked on a rock bar near his home. One day, he meets a Merrow, a race of people living in the sea, who thanks him for all the treasure he's sent him by not protecting the rock bar. Down in his sea house, Micky sees a room full of soul cages, full of the souls of the drowned sailors from the ships. He makes a plan to get the Merrow drunk, and release the souls. Things go according to plan and, never knowing his souls have escaped the Merrow become godson to Micky's son. Mr Smyth tells the story of Jeremiah O'Dwyer and the bewitching of his cattle. Only after following the words of an old woman, does he follow a hare, wounded in the chase, from his field to his neighbour's house. There he finds his neighbour, wounded exactly as the hare had been and the curse is removed from his herd. Mr Cink begins the story of Daniel O'Rourke who got drunk one night and found himself swept on to an island. From there he was rescued by an eagle who stands him on the moon. The man in the moon kicks him off, but he is caught by geese, then swallowed by a whale and washed up on the shore...only to find his wife has woken him with a bucket of water. The dining-car boy cannot decide between the stories, and he is fearful of Mr Cink's reaction in particular. There is something unpleasant, other-worldly about him...Mr Smyth wins when they leave it to chance and Mr Cink is furious. The boy leaves the compartment, and when he returns, all three competitors have vanished into thin air...Perhaps whisked away by malevolent fairies? Could Mr Cink be one himself? We'll never know...

Zustand: Bueno. : En el siglo XIX, un joven que trabaja en el vagón comedor del Great Midland West Ireland Railway es invitado por el misterioso Sr. Cink a juzgar un concurso de cuentos entre algunos competidores improbables. El Sr. Fee cuenta la historia de Micky Mealiffe, que se gana la vida con el contenido de los barcos naufragados en un bar de rocas cerca de su casa. Un día, conoce a un Merrow, una raza de personas que viven en el mar, que le agradece todo el tesoro que le ha enviado al no proteger el bar de rocas. En su casa del mar, Micky ve una habitación llena de jaulas de almas, llenas de las almas de los marineros ahogados de los barcos. Hace un plan para emborrachar al Merrow y liberar las almas. Las cosas salen según lo previsto y, sin saber que sus almas han escapado, el Merrow se convierte en padrino del hijo de Micky. El Sr. Smyth cuenta la historia de Jeremiah O'Dwyer y el embrujo de su ganado. Sólo después de seguir las palabras de una anciana, sigue a una liebre, herida en la persecución, desde su campo hasta la casa de su vecino. Allí encuentra a su vecino, herido exactamente como la liebre y la maldición es eliminada de su rebaño. El Sr. Cink comienza la historia de Daniel O'Rourke que se emborrachó una noche y se encontró arrastrado a una isla. Desde allí fue rescatado por un águila que lo coloca en la luna. El hombre de la luna lo echa, pero es atrapado por gansos, luego tragado por una ballena y arrastrado a la orilla, sólo para encontrar que su esposa lo ha despertado con un cubo de agua. El chico del vagón comedor no puede decidir entre las historias, y teme la reacción del Sr. Cink en particular. Hay algo desagradable, de otro mundo en él. El Sr. Smyth gana cuando lo dejan al azar y el Sr. Cink está furioso. El chico sale del compartimento, y cuando regresa, los tres competidores se han desvanecido en el aire. ¿Quizás llevados por hadas malévolas? ¿Podría el Sr. Cink ser uno de ellos? Nunca lo sabremos.
