What is recorded here
Fenagh in County Antrim birthed Ella Young in 1867, launching a life that would carry Celtic myth across the Atlantic. She left Ireland in 1925, taught at Berkeley in purple Druid robes, and died in Oceano in 1956. The small birthplace becomes a gateway: a girl from northern fields helped thousands imagine fairies, elves and talking trees as living truth.
