Did you know? Leprechaun facts and features:

  • Although these lucky little Irishmen are now synonymous with the color green, early accounts of leprechauns describe them as wearing red.
  • The earliest known folk tale to feature a leprechaun comes from the Middle Ages.
  • Leprechauns are associated with gold. Some stories attribute their wealth to the fine shoes they cobble, others say their role is to protect the treasure of the entire fairy world.
  • Leprechauns are considered a part of the fairy family. Like most fairies, they are small in size and prone to mischief!
