The Tale of the Hoodie

The Tale of the Hoodie (Scottish Gaelic: Ursgeul na Feannaig) is a Scottish fairy tale, collected by John Francis Campbell in his Popular Tales of the West Highlands. Andrew Lang included it, as The Hoodie-Crow, in The Lilac Fairy Book.

In the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index, the tale falls under the cycle of the Search for the Lost Husband, wherein the heroine marries a prince in enchanted form, betrays him and has to search for him after he vanishes.
