My nephew, Derek found an old copy of Ireland's Own magazine with
my short story “The Stranger” in it and sent me a photocopy of the pages with
my story.
It was a long time ago, sometime in the 1980’s when I wrote it! It is
based on the legend that Bonnie Prince Charlie, the young Pretender to the throne
of England, made a stop in Donegal as he fled Scotland and the English after his
Jacobite army was defeated.
I took the legend then and embroidered it a bit to
come up with a story meant for children. Derek said he read it in bed one night
and loved it so I thought I’d share it here as well.
