Kelly Murphy.
During the Irish famine, Fiona uses her wits to force the wily leprechaun king to let some luck back into the human world. The magical world is imbued with subtle colors and sparkles with star-shaped bits of luck while the "big folks" are forced to live in a more monochromatic environment. This inventive story has the cadence of a folktale.
