When the two time travelers climb down from their magic tree house, they find themselves knocking on the door of a Big House, where rich folks live lavishly compared to their poor Irish neighbors. This is where young Augusta is unhappy with her life, because she doesn’t want to be a wealthy lady. Instead, she wants to help the poor.
Jack and Annie use the magic whistle to give Augusta the power to see and speak with the magical, mystical, fairy creatures that are so much a part of Irish folklore and culture. These fairies lead Augusta to their Queen, who tells her that her mission is to find old storytellers and write down their Irish tales before they’re lost forever.
Augusta goes on to become Lady Augusta Gregory, co-founder of the Irish National Theatre.
They are known for their love of gold and their ability to grant wishes if captured. Excited about the possibility of encountering a leprechaun, Jack and Annie venture further into the forest, following the signs of the flower they seek. Along the way, they see flashes of green and hear faint laughter. Sensing that leprechauns may be nearby, they cautiously make their way towards the source of the sounds.
