The publisher's blurb reads: ''Saints preserve us! Jamie O'Rourke is the laziest man in all of Ireland. So when his poor wife's back gives out before she is able to harvest the potatoes, it looks as if Jamie will go hungry all winter. Now Jamie is as lucky as he is lazy, and one morning he traps himself a leprechaun, from whom he wins a single wish. What does Jamie O'Rourke wish for? All the potatoes he can eat. But this time Jamie may have bitten off more than he can chew. Half Irish himself, Tomie dePaola is wholeheartedly enthusiastic about passing on this colorful folktale.''
