Leprechauns are part of Irish folk tales. There are a lot of other creatures and people in Irish folk tales but the leprechaun is the most famous across the world. Irish people have been talking about leprechauns since at least the 700's. That's about 1.300 years ago! In the old stories, the leprechaun's don't wear green. They wear brown and red. They make and repair shoes for the fairies. That is how they get their gold. Irish people are always trying to get their gold.
At the museum, I learned about other people in Irish folk tales. I will do other blog posts about this later.
Wow, I can't wait to read about the other creatures and people you learned about.
