All are stories, tales, truths, I come back to again and again. Some have made me cry, others I find enlightening or expand on a sense of value. I was introduced to ‘The Crock of Gold’ in 1962 by a college roommate...a quirky, fanciful novel taken from Irish fables. Stephens spins odd tales of power struggles between Leprechaun couples with remarkable emphasis on the magical power of the women.
