'...So when he went into the forest he met with this man called Manus, and Manus says to Jack, 'Jack,' he says, 'what about a game of cards...'
A folk tale told by Paddy Sherlock, chimney sweep, of County Clare, Ireland
With an introduction by Professor J.H. Delargy of the Irish Folklore Commission
Produced by David Thomson
First of a series of six programmes
To be repeated tomorrow
August 1
Professor Delargy writes: 'The folk tale still lives in Ireland and Western Scotland, but in most parts of Britain no one can listen to a genuine orally-preserved tale which has not come from a printed source in recent times. So this is probably the first time that English-speaking people of this generation have ever had afforded them the opportunity of hearing a storyteller telling a traditional tale in English.'
Followed by an interlude at 9.0
