Tradition has it that leprechauns are mischievous little people, often cobblers, who have pots of gold hidden away.

The humans are always keen to find the gold but somehow are always outwitted by the leprechauns' cunning and magical powers. This selection of charming tales about leprechauns and other little people has been passed down over the years from one generation to another.

Yvonne Carroll's brilliant retelling of each story brings them alive for a new generation of readers.
