The Leprechaun's Kingdom is a delightful field guide to all the magical and mysterious creatures that inhabit the hills, lakes and woods of Ireland. It is a treasury of ancient legends, poetry, music, and hundreds of illustrations.

A world of enticing mermaids, headless phantoms, mischievous spirits and heroic giants; a world where demons dwell in dark under water cities, tiny Cluricaunes help themselves to a household's liquor, and even butterflies have ghosts.

Each chapter describes on eof these mythical creatures-- from banshees to witches-- noting its appearance, activites and habitat. Included are stories and poems by such celebrated writers as Lady Wilde (mother of Oscar Wilde,) William Butler Yeats, Thomas Crofton Croker, Patrick Kennedy and Jeremy Curtain. The illustrations-- engravings, drawings and paintings represent the works of Irish imaginative artists over the last hundred years.
