LUDWIG MÜHLHAUSEN, SÉAMUS Ó CAISIDE AND SCÉAL RÍ NA GRÉIGE The Tale of ‘Three Golden Children’ (ATU 707) in 1937 Donegal

On 25 August 1937, a strange-looking man appeared in the fishing hamlet of Teelin in Donegal, lreland. He spoke lrish, albeit with a foreign, Kerry accent. After a month there, the visitor, Ludwig Mühlhausen asked a local storyteller, Séamus Ó Caiside, if he could relate a few stories for him. These two men recorded 12 tales and two songs. ‘Scéal Rí na Gréige’ presents a version of the well-known international folktale type ATU 707:’Three Golden Children’.
