Midwife to the Fairies reveals Éilís Ní Dhuibhne's progress as a story writer over the years since she first began to work in this genre. Ranging from the ultra realistic 'Some Hours in the Life of a Witch' to the surreal fantasy world of 'Fulfilment' and 'The Wife of Bath', the stories describe ordinary and not so ordinary lives, and the lives of women in particular, in the feminist and post-feminist era in Ireland.
