The Lucky Find, illustrated by James Ward
The Lucky Find is a book based on one of my childhood memories of a family vacation to Kilcrohane in County Cork, Ireland. To this day, I believe that two leprechauns climbed in our bedroom window and helped themselves to a sweet treat! If you have ever visited Ireland you will know that the people there believe in the fairy folk and there are many traditions and folklore story sessions about them.
Did you know that Leprechauns are actually a protected species under EU law? Carlingford’s Sliabh Foy Loop trail is officially protected land for the 236 Leprechauns that apparently live in Ireland. A local lobbyist group which contains Kevin Woods, a native of Carlingford, managed to convince the EU that the area should be protected and now it is under the European Habitats Directive.
