Best Bets for Finding a Leprechaun in Everett

Before there was Pokemon Go, kids searched for magical Gaelic elves. If you’re looking to catch your own leprechaun in Everett (and I am—a pot of gold seems like a good retirement plan) I’d recommend the following places. 

1. Forgotten Creek

If there’s anyplace that mythical elves live, it’s in a place that’s forgotten. Look for little green men in this fern-covered gulch. Or just go there to swill a pint of Guinness.

2. The Library

Check the shelves behind the following books:

Ulysses by James Joyce. Follow protagonist Leopold Bloom through Dublin. But really you’re following Joyce through a truly epic stream-of-consciousness modernist novel with a ton of Greek allusions. This is for the literary marathon-runner.

The Guts by Roddy Doyle. Nobody writes about the working-class Irish like Doyle. His characters always have the odds stacked against them as they hustle to get by on the dole.

Poems, 1965-1975 by Seamus Heaney. Poet Laureate Heaney has a way of getting down to the bones of the Anglo-Saxon roots of the English language.
