Palmer Cox's Brownie book Is based
on the folk tales told him in his boy
hood by his Scotch Canadian neighbors,
and on much reading. According TO
legend the Brownies are small, male
spirits, similar to fairies They differ
from the old English gnomes in that
they are kind and helpful little folks,
and delight in small acts of helpful
ness. While never visible, they are
supposed to be tanned brown by the
sun and to have brown hair. hence the
name. In the first of Mr.. Cox's Brownie
stories, they were all alike and went
in bands Later, one by one, Mr. Cox
introduced the dude, the policeman, Che
soldier and all the other different
Brownie characters.
In this latest book of Brownie adj
ventures, there are all the old favorites
and some new friends: and they help
a hospital, and harvest Ice, and SOW
seeds in most novel fashion, and play
