Book Description
The Leprechauns are under threat of the humans invading their domain. Their numbers have been dwindling over the centuries and the last of the Leprechauns in Ireland have sought sanctuary in the north of Ireland, high in the mountains of Mourne. Lenny, who is about to celebrate his 11th Birthday is disillusioned with his way of life that has changed substantially in the last 7 years, living underground in the roots of the trees during daylight and only coming out at night as the fear of the humans now discovering them has increased. Everything changes when a family of Leprechauns disappear, Lenny, his grandfather, and his friend Soil, are caught up in danger as they go looking for help in the most unlikely places. Betrayed by the Sprites, Lenny and Soil, now separated from the other Leprechauns, have to fight for their survival in a harsh environment as they encounter mythical and magical creatures along the way.

Book Description
From the origins of this hero of Irish lore to his habits, occupations and characteristics. This book offers enlightenment on little-known aspects of the wider fairy world, as well as turning the spotlight on the real leprechaun. Every country has its own myths about fairies and 'wee folk', but the Irish leprechaun is the undisputed king. To some, he is an impish figure full of harmless mischief, forever guarding his elusive crock of gold. To others, he is an evil gnome bent on disrupting the lives of mortals with his black magic and malevolent acts. Historian and folklorist Bob Curran looks at the origins of this hero of Irish lore – fallen angel, diminished god or son of fairies – and at his habits, occupations and characteristics. He explores the superstitions surrounding the leprechaun and his enduring place in popular culture, and turns the spotlight on the 'real' leprechaun – mysterious, complex and contradictory.

Book Description
In the four provinces of Ireland there are thirty-two counties. Each county and its people have their own traditions, beliefs and folklore – and each one is also inhabited by the Sidhe: an ancient and magical race. Some believe they are descended from fallen angels, whilst others say they are the progeny of Celtic deities. They go by many names: the good folk, the wee folk, the gentle people and the fey, but are most commonly known as ‘the fairies’. These are not the whimsical fairies of Victorian and Edwardian picture books. They are feared and revered in equal measure, and even in the twenty-first century are spoken of in hushed tones. The fairies are always listening. Storyteller Steve Lally and his wife singer-songwriter Paula Flynn Lally have compiled this magnificent collection of magical fairy stories from every county in Ireland. Filled with unique illustrations that bring these tales to life, Irish Gothic Fairy Stories will both enthral and terrify readers for generations to come.
