A financial wizard in the city of London has just completed a billion pound deal. For rest and relaxation he travels to Ireland on a long promised fishing trip. On the riverbank, he encounters a little man wearing a cap who appears to have magical powers to such an extent that the Londoner perceives the little man to be a leprechaun but he is not! Before he returns to London he embarks on a singular plan to extract the little man's secret by plying him with whiskey and Guinness thereby revealing a bizarre tale of specimen brown trout and green silk knickers!
Irish author Dermot Coburn's medium of choice is the short story. His stories revolve around a rich tapestry of timeless characters and their adventures in modern Ireland. Coburn lives with his family in Ravensdale, an idyllic village nestling along the southern slopes of Clermont Mountain in County Louth where he is a well known entrepreneur and businessman.
A great short story that will transport you to an Irish rural scene and make you. Feel that you are really there. Will appeal particularly to readers interested in nature and trout fishing,Irish whiskey,leprechauns and magic; read it for the twisting in the tale.
