The Leprechauns of Ireland
Contents:
Unless you are an expert in all things Leprechaun, there are a few facts about the mystical trickster that may surprise you. Leprechauns are famous for hiding their pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Will you go treasure hunting?
Leprechaun Origin
The image of Leprechauns has been updated and now the legend serves as something of a tourist attraction which lures a huge amount of American tourists in particular to Ireland. Of course, not everything related to Leprechauns is fun or particularly tasteful as can be seen in the awful Leprechaun movies starring Warwick Davis. It is fair to say that many Irish people are irritated by the ethnic stereotypes perpetuated by Leprechauns but there is a tale of morality that can be taken from the fable of the Leprechaun.
Ultimately, tales of the Leprechaun are not to be taken seriously and should only serve to amuse and delight us. The modern day depiction of a Leprechaun is that of a man clad entirely in green. However, Irish folklore describes Leprechauns as men who wore red outfits and tri-cornered hats. This of course means that Leprechauns defy typical laws of biology by surviving and there is no evidence which tells the story of how they breed.
The aforementioned book says that Leprechauns are actually deformed children of the fairies.
The town now has an annual Leprechaun hunt though the object of the game is to find plastic versions of the fabled creature. Did you know that Leprechauns are actually a protected species under EU law? Thank you so much Flutterby Your review doesn't get much better than that. So glad that you and Darragh enjoyed it so much Kind Regards Kevin.
