Distraught, the Judge calls Michael O’Hara and a group of their mutual friends to come to the aid of poor Blackstone O’Grady. Arriving with the blink of an eye, Michael O’Hara and his friends hear the Judge’s tale of woe and offer their advice.

As widely traveled as the author, the leprechauns may pop up anywhere and can be found living in Southern California (The Retirement of Michael OHara), touring the Black Forest of Bavaria (Michael OHara and Friends to the Rescue) or happily at home in Ireland (Dermot O’Malley and the Lost Little Boy).
