English Fairy Tales, XXI. Childe Rowland., sentence 80
At the same time it must not be thought that Mr. MacRitchie's views explain all fairy tales, or that his identifications of Finns = Fenians = Fairies = Sidhe = “Pechs” = Picts, will necessarily be accepted.
Who acts: views, MacRitchie, Mr. · What happens: not think, explain, accept, view, identify · To what, where: re-capture, fairy tales, identifications, Finns
