Good-hearted Donald O'Dell rescues a drowning leprechaun and is offered a gift of gold. When Donald refuses, the leprechaun leads him (via a stray cow) to the cottage where lovely, lonely, golden-haired Maureen lives. "There's more than one kind of gold in the world," says the leprechaun. The full-sized illustrations--with their uncluttered compositions and slightly bug-eyed characters--will show up well at story hours.
