Titel:
Hobgoblin, Legendary Creature
Hobgoblin is a term typically applied in folktales to describe a friendly but troublesome creature of the Seelie Court (originating in Lowland Scottish folklore to indicate good fairies). Hobgoblins are small, hairy little men who, like their close relative, brownies, are often found within human dwellings, doing odd jobs around the house while the family is lost in sleep. Such chores are typically small deeds, like dusting and ironing. Often, the only compensation necessary in return for these was food. Attempts to give them clothing would often banish them forever, though whether they take offense to such gifts or are simply too proud to work in new clothes differs from teller to teller. While brownies are more peaceful creatures, hobgoblins are more fond of practical jokes. Henry Justice Ford (1860-1941) was a prolific and successful artist and illustrator, active from 1886 through to the late 1920s. Sometimes known as H. J. Ford or Henry J. Ford,
