Title: Brownie, Legendary Creature

Caption: Colour enhanced illustration of a brownie, a legendary creature popular in folklore around Scotland and England. It is the Scottish and Northern English counterpart of the Scandinavian tomte, the Slavic domovoi and the German Heinzelmannchen. In folklore, a brownie resembles the hob, similar to a hobgoblin and is sometimes described as an industrious fairy. Brownies are said to inhabit houses and aid in tasks around the house. However, they do not like to be seen and will only work at night, traditionally in exchange for small gifts of food. Illustration in Jacob's English Fairy Tales, (1892) unknown illustrator. Colour
