Today is the feast day (one of them) of St Anna, the righteous woman who like her namesake in the Old Testament cried out to God in her barrenness, and was granted a child. Just one child in her case, and not a son as the Old Testament Anna had been given, but a daughter. But…
The first American faerie creature I intend to cover.
