Description from Project Gutenberg

"The Crock of Gold" by James Stephens is a comic novel published in 1912. This fantastical tale blends Irish folklore, philosophy, and comedy as a Philosopher embarks on a quest to save the most beautiful woman in the world from the gods Pan and Aengus Óg. When neighboring Leprechauns accuse him of murder over a stolen crock of gold, he must flee with his wife, the Thin Woman, who belongs to Ireland's most powerful Shee. Their separate journeys lead them through encounters with elemental beings and ancient powers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
