* Beautifully illustrated * Ten charming original stories * Ideal children’s gift book
The leprechaun is the shoe-maker of the Irish fairy kingdom. He is a solitary fairy, fun-loving and very crafty. He is often seen sitting, cross-legged with a tiny hammer in his hand, working on a fairy shoe. The leprechaun is the keeper of the crock of gold at the end of the rainbow and he knows where all the wealth of the world is buried. If you are lucky enough to catch him, you must keep your eyes on him at all times and not allow him to distract your attention or he will disappear. If he does not out-smart you he can make you very wealthy and can make your wishes come true!
Storyteller Bairbre McCarthy, a native of County Clare, now lives in the Adirondack mountains of New York State. She has also written, Favourite Irish Legends and Irish Leprechaun Stories, published by Mercier Press.
