Piskie

The farmer slunk away unperceived, and went to bed, where he lay a long while awake, thinking in what way he could best shew his gratitude to the piskie for such an important Service.

The piskie was in the shape of a man — very dark, black-haired, and cross-eyed.

Glister was determined to prove the wizened piskie wrong, but its taunts were well founded.

One thing about the Piskies, they have different names for everything. For example, when Kathryn says “parish” she means “church.”
