Produktinformationen zu „The Truth About Leprechauns (ePub)“

Every country has its own myths about fairies and 'wee folk', but the Irish leprechaun is the undisputed king. To some, he is an impish figure full of harmless mischief, forever guarding his elusive crock of gold. To others, he is an evil gnome bent on disrupting the lives of mortals with his black magic and malevolent acts.

Historian and folklorist Bob Curran looks at the origins of this hero of Irish lore - fallen angel, diminished god or son of fairies - and at his habits, occupations and characteristics. He explores the superstitions surrounding the leprechaun and his enduring place in popular culture, and turns the spotlight on the 'real' leprechaun - mysterious, complex and contradictory.

Autoren-Porträt von Robert Curran

No one is sure where Bob Curran comes from. Tradition says that one moment he wasn't there and the next moment he was in County Down. He has, however, held various jobs - including gravedigger, hospital porter, civil servant and teacher - has studied History and Education at the New University of Ulster, and has received a Ph.D. in Educational Social Psychology. Bob has a strong interest in local history and folklore, and has both written and lectured on these subjects; he is a frequent contributor to radio, and has appeared on television co-presenting programmes on heritage and history. It is said that Bob currently lives somewhere in north Antrim, with his teacher wife and two small children; but it is difficult to be sure, as he is seen only 'between the lights' (at twilight), and then only by a fortunate few.
