They named the little boy Jayden Baraka Okoth."Ken was elated," said Robert
Sidhe, a friend of the couple.
We pull up quietly, almost Bondlike, by the trim lawns of Ard Na
Sidhe, a luxury country house hotel, originally built in 1913 by Lady Edith Gordon, one of the members of British aristocracy who built elegant mansions on the lake's shoreline at the turn of last century.
Yeats gathers lore and stories of the
Sidhe kidnapping human children, and sometimes leaving one of their own.
The premise is a simple one as an Ireland is imagined where the populations is being decimated by the vengeful
Sidhe a race who had been exiled into a grim other world.
The Guardian is set to work by the
Sidhe, who "must have a guardian to clean out the well." (48) That the plays first description of her emphasizes that she is "worn out from raking its dry bed, / Worn out from gathering up the leaves" underlines her position of servitude, her complete obedience to a will not her own.
Since then, he continued to work in several hotels in Ireland including The Killarney Plaza Hotel & Spa, Ard Na

In the novel, the paranormal investigator Hannibal Rooke dismisses the "Olympian [William Butler] Yeats" and the Celtic Twilight movement and sniggers that "the blessed Yeats would no doubt have us believe that County Sligo (for that matter, all Ireland) is aswarm with fairy warriors and mythological heroes waiting to be discovered."

Sidhe," derives from the secondary reality of the Otherworld.
In William Butler Yeats's Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry (1888), the banshee is defined as "an attendant fairy that follows the old families, and none but them, and wails before a death." The word "banshee" is an Anglicization of bean
sidhe: a woman of the fairies.
