Tråkig och seg historia. Läste i och för sig den här boken när jag tittade på serien samtidigt. Det känns som jag borde ha tyckt om den här, men för mig kändes den bara seg och krystad.

This is a very interesting Sabrina book since it basically teaches some about Irish history and mythology. Hilda is being bothered by Fergus, a leprechaun named Fergus who she has a problem with from a long time ago. He's into playing practical jokes on her and she keeps trying to catch him.
Meanwhile the school is planning a parade for St. Patrick's Day and we end up with two sets of things going on at the same time.
Fergus basically makes Sabrina, Val, Mr. Kraft and Harvey go in search of King Kevin's gold so he can take it. This involves riding a rainbow and dealing with a variety of Irish legends through time, the group having to figure out how to win over or escape that particular person for that time so they can continue until they get to the gold. That part is really interesting.
The parade portion of the story deals with shamrock cookies that allow people to see the wee folk who are trying to play tricks on the parade people. That part is really funny.
Further, there's a short section on Author's Notes which talks bout the history/mythology in the story. I really enjoyed this volume of the series.

It's been years and years since I've read these books but I'm surprised not only by how much I still enjoy them but how many tidbits of real history and mythology are sprinkled in them. It seems like a lot of them are pretty well written despite rotating authors and a few continuity errors (this is book 19 and it says Mr. Kraft has been dating Hilda on and off for some time; in book 31 (which I read about a week ago) he is dating Zelda)

Cute.

Similar to an episode of Sabrina, just a bit strange to end so abruptly.

I loved all of the Sabrina tales full of magic. Every story was a different adventure and some new and exciting challenge to overcome. These books made me want to have magical powers too but the ending results were hilarious.

I used to love this T.V. show, along with the books.. now I don't care for both much anymore.

It was a good idea to include Irish folklore into the Sabrina series however I thought it was not very well used. Besides the usual leprechaun story there was nothing else.
