In his autobiography Lloyd, an Irish leprechaun, invites us into his world of friendly goblins, inept elves, clever leprechauns (well, of course) and you see through his eyes the magical world of nature spirits that exists only a blink away from the human world.
Join Lloyd as he recounts his childhood, courting and handfasting, an Irish wake, and how he ‘got the gold’ and meet his emancipated lass and non-conformist son. Great good humor rolls through his story interlaced with wisdom about how he and other elementals want to partner with humans to create a wonderful world.
Tanis Helliwell met Lloyd many years ago and wrote the cherished classic Summer with the Leprechauns about the experience. Here, however, she remains fully in the background, only recounting his words.
Tanis’s other books include Pilgrimage with the Leprechauns, Hybrids: so you think you are human, and Good Morning Henry: an in-depth journey with the body intelligence.
PRAISE FOR TANIS HELLIWELL'S BOOKS:

“This delightful book (Summer with the Leprechauns) is not only great fun to read, but makes most interesting and intelligent suggestions about the reality and work of this particular branch of the nature world.
