When I was in 5^th grade I read a book about some girls who stole a leprechaun’s bag of magic.  I don’t remember much of the book as that was in 1979 or 1980.  In the story I recall the girls (sisters) were trapped in a painting.  I remember that it appeared the painting was watching you.  I also remember the book going back in history as in a back story to the leprechaun and the girls.  I also recall the girls being bad or evil.  I really don’t remember much of the book other than it scared me like crazy!  I skipped recess to read this book and read on the edge of my seat scared out of my wits.  If anyone knows what this book is, I will be most grateful!!

This book I read in the 1980’s at my school library  (small primary school, under 30 kids) in a very tiny town in country NSW Australia.

All I remember is that it involved a girl and boy set in England?. I think he was infatuated with her.. either he kidnapped or she went with him willingly and he took her to the moors and there was a cave there. He made her do a blood pact to tie them together. I am pretty sure he had dark hair. Thats all I remember!
