March is the month of St. Patrick's Day, a perfect time for a leprechaun story! Paudie introduces us to the first leprechaun story, recorded in the 8th century from the Saga of Fergus Mac Léti, starring a feisty leprechaun queen, a porridge-mad king, and leprechaun assassins! Mark and Eleanor also discuss why we shouldn't make "leprechaun traps", the museum's Giant's Room, and how they plan to celebrate Paddy's Day.
If you have any question you'd like us to answer, topics you'd like us to discuss, or stories you'd like us to tell, tweet us at @leprechaun_ie with #AskAStoryteller or find us on Instagram @leprechaunmuseum.
