Leprechauns are supposed to know where pots of gold are buried and they guard this secret very well.

They are hard to ensnare, and if you manage to catch one then you must hold him very firmly and never, even for a second, take your eyes off him because in the blink of an eye he can disappear and he will use every trick he knows to escape - so be warned! This collection of leprechaun tales is one to be treasured.
