JAMIE O'ROURKE AND THE BIG POTATO: AN IRISH FOLKTALE, retold and illustrated by Tomie dePaola, was published in 1992.

Publisher's Note: "Saints preserve us! Jamie O'Rourke is the laziest man in all of Ireland. He'll do anything to avoid having to work. So when his poor wife's back gives out before she's able to harvest the potatoes, it looks as if Jamie will go hungry all winter. Now Jamie is as lucky as he is lazy, and one morning he traps himself a leprechaun, from whom he wins a single wish. What does Jamie O'Rourke wish for? All the potatoes he can eat. But this time Jamie may have bitten off more than he can chew."
