About this listen



"Brownies and Bogles" by Louise Imogen Guiney is a whimsical collection of folklore and fairy tales written in 1888. The book explores the enchanting world of fairies, brownies, and bogles, delving into their characteristics and the roles they play in human life. At its core, it features a discussion on various types of fairy creatures, focusing particularly on Brownies who assist humans with household tasks, and their mischievous counterparts, the bogles. At the start of the narrative, the author defines fairies, contrasting modern interpretations with more romanticized historical views. Guiney introduces the idea of fairies being once revered as noble characters and calls upon various folkloric beliefs to illustrate the complexity of fairy lore. She reflects on how these beings have been perceived across different cultures, enlightening readers on the playful and sometimes troublesome nature of these enchanted creatures. The opening portion sets a vibrant tone, inviting readers into a magical realm filled with fascinating lore while hinting at the joy and mischief that these fairies can bring to both mortals and their own kind.
