Paul E. Harvey Jr. was raised on a farm in Harbourton, New Jersey, and now lives in Bordentown, New Jersey. This is his second book in the Shamus series. “I noticed the lack of young children knowing American history. It seems it’s not being taught like it was in my day and that saddens me. I thought if I used a story with a leprechaun and a flying dog telling stories about history, it may get younger children to want to learn more about our forefathers and the events that happen in America. After all, who is better telling history stories than a wee little leprechaun who has lived for hundreds of years?”
