"Find the Brownies," an interactive game, is HERE
As a doll maker for over 40 years I sought to create characters in cloth; rag dolls of people real and imaginary. In the 1980's, towards the end of my career, I was asked to create a line of dolls based on the Palmer Cox Brownie. Always fascinated in the history or story of the characters I attempted to reproduce, I engaged in a long study of the Brownie and Palmer Cox. Children who were given brownies often asked: "What is a brownie?" I decided to write a little book for children that would help them understand. My story was purely imaginary but would, I hoped, put a child in touch with the myth and allow him or her to imagine what a brownie might be like.
ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU HAVE EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT FAIRIES AND THE ELEMENTAL GNOME CALLED "BROWNIE"
The magic of fairies is not an end in itself. Its virtue is in its operations. Among these are the satisfactions of certain primordial human desires, one of which is to survey the depths of time and space, and another is to hold communion with other living things.
