- A leipreacan is dressed in a red jacket, long trousers, long stockings and a wide soft hat.
He is about eight inches in height. He lives under a white thorn bush in a 'lisheen.' A leipreacan has no purse but he has a pot of gold hidden in the lisheen. He is always making shoes for the fairies.- Collector
