Episode 16 - **May Day Special - The White Hare Part 1**

In this magical May Day special, Emily of Dragonfly Tales weaves a hauntingly beautiful story titled 'The White Hare Part 1,' blending Celtic and Cornish folklore into a tale of transformation, sisterhood, and hidden curses. The story follows young Billy, sent to stay with his grumpy great-aunt Anne in a remote countryside house near a mysterious, supposedly haunted orchard. After sneaking into the orchard on the eve of Bealtaine, Billy encounters a talking silver-white hare—revealed to be a cursed woman transformed by her dark sister. Through a vision, he learns the truth: the hare is the fair sister, trapped for years after being turned into a hare by her vengeful sibling. As Billy grows into a man, he returns on another May Day, determined to break the curse by finding a magical horn hidden in a tunnel beneath the hill. But the path is blocked by a guardian, and the only key lies in a forgotten song—whose words only the witch, Great Aunt Anne, might know. The episode ends on a cliffhanger as Billy realizes his aunt is the very witch from his childhood vision, setting up a dramatic confrontation in Part 2. The story is rich with mythic atmosphere, emotional depth, and seasonal symbolism, perfectly capturing the magic of May Day as a liminal time between worlds.
