Leprechaun Companion by Niall MacNamara, Wayne Anderson
Leprechauns may be best known for their tenacity in keeping secret the hiding places for their crocks of gold; but, as this book proves, there's more to these wee creatures than their reputation for miserliness! Aided by Wayne Anderson's annotated illustrations, author Niall Macnamara collects never-before-published lore about leprechaun lives. Learn about their dwellings (they live in abandoned beehives, hollow trees, and thorn bushes); diet (they love to eat silverweed and heather tops); and dress (they are especially fond of high-heeled shoes and the color red); courtship rituals (tying a knot in a rose is a great compliment to a lady leprechaun); and leisure activities (they love music, and their favorite game is Magpie). You'll also learn about leprechaun clans in Munster, Leinster, Ulster, Connaught, and Meath; find out why lady leprechauns are rare; and discover what these sprites think of other faerie folk from neighboring countries. 9 1/4" x 12". Color illus.
