The Leprechaun Companion - Hardcover
Leprechauns are an integral part of Irish mythology, featuring in many folk tales and legends. Their short temper and stature, renowned skill as shoemakers and tinkers and wizened features have fascinated mankind for centuries. Now The Leprechaun Companion provides the first fully comprehensive guide to their secret world, revealing helpful hints on how to deal with leprechauns, what to say (and not to say), and how to find their crocks of gold. Among many other intriguing insights, The Leprechaun Companion looks at: - Leprechaun fashion, and what the well dressed leprechaun will be wearing this year. - Keeping hold of your leprechaun when you have caught it. - Female leprechauns and their place in Leprechaun society. - Leprechaun magic, and how humans can learn from them. The beautiful and intricate illustrations by Wayne Anderson illustrate every aspect of the Irish faery world, showing the various types of leprechaun and their distinguishing marks. This enchanting book will appeal to anyone who has ever been walking down a quiet country lane and thought they heard the tap, tap, tap of a faery hammer.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: NF. Dust Jacket Condition: None. Wayne Anderson (illustrator). 1st. The introduction tells us that leprechauns are a seperate, ancient and proud race who take great offence if taken for anything else. Whatever the true position, this book book is a fine addition to literature on Ireland's little people. It contains all one coul;d possibly want to know about them, plus a little bit more. Four chapters cover their habits and habitat, customs and culture, clans and finally cousins. All this important historical and geneaological information is backed by Anderson's wonderful colour depictions of the mysterious little people at work, play, mischief and everyday activities. A must-have for leprechaun fan club members. Begorrah, a beautiful book! 96 pages, colour art throughout, decorative e/papers. clan locality map. Colour art hard covers (made soft by padding!) NF, ditto text block. Seller Inventory # 002610
