The opening statement that "Brewery of Eggshells is a Welsh fairy tale collected by Joseph Jacobs in his Celtic Fairy Tales" is not entirely true. While Jacobs did publish the story in his Celtic Fairy Tales in 1891, he got the story from Thomas Crofton Croker in his Fairy Legends and traditions of the South of Ireland published in 1825 and again in 1834 who had collected it as part of Irish fairy tales. [1]. If there is something that predates this, then by all means bring it here, otherwise the opening statement will have to be changed
