Week 13 Reading B: Celtic Fairy Tales

I find changeling stories like Brewery of Eggshells really fascinating. In general I think that the idea of some otherworldly creatures replacing a person with one of their own kind, and the fact that this idea is so pervasive, is interesting. I used to have a book of Welsh legends that included multiple changeling stories where the mother cooked food in an eggshell to fool the changeling into revealing itself, which seems like a really weird and specific thing to get included in changeling lore.
