Three sisters live in a castle high among Erin's green hills. Fair and Brown go to church each Sunday, leaving their beautiful young sister, Trembling, at home to cook and sweep. Then one morning an old henwife comes to call and, before she knows it, Trembling finds herself dressed in a lily-white silk gown riding to church on a milk-white mare - a vision of loveliness to turn the head of every prince in the land.
