The Fairy Fort

Have you ever made mischief?

A little harmless mischief can be fun. My son recently put a whoopee cushion on my chair at the dinner table and we all had a good laugh about that one!

But in this week’s story, the mischief doesn’t come from a playful young boy; it comes from some impish fairies! And they don't just make mischief – they wreak havoc!

Our story is called “The Fairy Fort.” Versions of this tale come from Ireland, a country in northern Europe.

Voices in this story include: Evan Casey, Amory Sivertson, Chris Stinson, Taylor Richardson, and Alison Wright. Taylor Richardson stars in “The Gilded Age” on HBO Max. Emmy-nominated actress Alison Wright stars in “Snowpiercer” on TNT, as well as “The Americans” and “FEUD: Bette and Joan” on FX. Coming up, you grown-ups can watch for her in “FEUD: Capote’s Women.”

This episode was adapted for Circle Round by Rebecca Sheir. It was edited by Nora Saks. Original music and sound design is by Eric Shimelonis. Our artist is Sabina Hahn.
