The Leprechaun's Gold
What's This Book About
In this classic Irish legend, two harpists – merry-hearted Old Pat and ill-spirited Young Tom – set off for a contest to name the finest harpist in all of Ireland. When Young Tom realizes that Old Pat is truly the better musician, he schemes to be the winner – but he doesn′t reckon with the clever trickery of a mischievous little leprechaun. Noted picture book creators Pamela Duncan Edwards and Henry Cole have imagined a joyful and fanciful tale with a priceless lesson.
What Kind of Book is The Leprechaun's Gold
Reviews
With messages about giving freely of yourself and your talents, and putting others first, this is an enjoyable, folksy, and slightly moralizing tale set in Ireland. With it's little bit of Leprechaun intervention, this is a fun read for St. Patrick's Day.
