The Keeper of the Crock of Gold is a magnificently illustrated collection of tales about mischievous leprechauns and their tricks. Perhaps one day you might come across a leprechaun plying his trade, sitting cross-legged with a tiny hammer in his hand working on a fairy shoe. You will be glad you have read these stories then, for rather than grab him and rudely demand his gold and end up with a pot of soup stuck to your nose, you will treat him gently and with the respect he deserves. Then perhaps, he might lend you his magic purse, make you boots that last forever, or serve you a tasty dinner every evening till the end of your days. These cautionary tales are set in a world populated by giants and princesses and will capture the imagination of children of all ages.
