Peterkin wakes laughing at moonrise, and the night carries him into the Celtic wonderworld. Three great tales of ancient Ireland are retold for him: the four white swans who were the children of Lir, the doom laid on the sons of Turenn for the killing of Kian, and Darthool, better known as Deirdre, with the sons of Usna. Notes on the sources follow.
