The Crock of Gold by James Stephens
Truly unique, it is a mixture of philosophy, Irish folklore and the
battle of the sexes all with charm, humour and good grace.
The Leprecauns of Gort na Cloca have their pot of gold stolen and for
revenge kidnap the Philosophers' children Seamus and Brigid which sets
into motion a series of events involving Angus Og, the Thin Woman of
Inis Magrath, the fairy folk of the Shee, and the wise and profound
musings of all involved.
It all rotates around the astonishing story of what happens when Pan
shows up in Ireland, what Angus Og does about it, and what becomes of
the Daughter of Murrachu who gets caught in between them. A mad-cap
quest ensues as fairies, leprechauns and a philosopher being hunted by
the police all get involved in the antics of the two gods.
