About this book
A brownie, a small and mischievous household spirit, lives in the coal-cellar of a family with six children and makes himself both a nuisance and a secret helper. Across a handful of linked tales he plays tricks on a lazy cook, pulls the children out of scrapes, rides off in a butcher's cart, and quietly rewards kindness while punishing sloth. Dinah Craik tells these nursery stories with gentle humor and a light moral touch, in the warm voice of someone spinning a bedtime tale. Long a favorite for reading aloud, the book captures the coziness and small wonders of Victorian childhood.
