I enjoyed the archived copy on openlibrary.org. Fun take on a classic theme about how to get a lazy person to work, but the pre-epilogue ending is odd.
An original fairy tale and a good story about a cunning leprechaun, a lazy girl and her poor auld Granny. Love the cute, sepia-tone illustrations with the green of the leprechaun's clothes providing the only other color. Well done and effective. I particularly appreciate this book as it is difficult to find such appealing leprechaun illustration.
Mischievous leprechaun teaches a little girl to take care of herself and her grandmother.
This would be great for storytelling on St. Patrick's Day.
