Seamus loves the old stories and legends of Ireland, but he never thought they might be true until he met Nate, an exiled leprechaun with a cruel rival named Old Jimmy. In four original audio stories, your family will help Seamus and Nate race across Ireland to save the town’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration (without Seamus ending up two inches tall), then follow the clues in a mysterious, unfinished book called The Potato Fairy. Each story is about 30 minutes and made for kids ages 5–11. This Ireland country set also includes 7 printables, two recipes and a full country guide.

Seamus’ town is caught up in leprechaun frenzy. Things are disappearing, being mixed up and moved around — and a lot of people are blaming the leprechauns. Seamus never has believed in the magical little men, that is until he meets one in person. But Nate the leprechaun doesn’t have any wishes to give because all his powers have been taken away. Can Seamus help him get his leprechaun powers back?
Find out where leprechaun legends really come from, what St. Patrick’s Day celebrates (and why blue, not green, was St. Patrick’s first color), and why 400,000 people a year kiss the Blarney Stone. This part of the country guide also explores Ireland with a map and tells the story of the potato in Ireland.
Did you know? The first leprechaun legends dressed them in red jackets and red pointed hats, not green.

“My boys (ages 6 and 9) LOVE Around the World Stories! They ask each week if we’ve received our new story, and they ask to re-listen to their favorite stories… that’s when I knew this was something special.”
