The Leprechaun of Killmean

If you ever come across this book, no matter how much it costs, buy it.  It's full of wit, trickery and cunning ways.  You'll find crocks of gold, sly country folk, greedy neighbours and a way with words that takes you straight back to 'Father Ted'.  But however clever the writers of 'Father Ted' might be, Seumas O'Kelly got there first.  His tale of head-to-head confrontation between old Tom Kelleher and the Leprechaun of Killmeen is as good an Irish yarn as you'll ever read, and it's a pretty good fairy story too.
