Book of Brownies

Book of Brownies

The Book of Brownies by Enid Blyton was written in 1926 and is considered by some to be one of her greatest works for children.

The Book of Brownies is the story of three naughty Brownie (mythology)
brownies: Hop, Skip and Jump, who are tricked by Witch Green-eyes into unwittingly helping her to kidnap the Princess Peronel. They are banished from Fairyland until they find their 'Goodness'. They decide that they have an obligation to save the Princess from the Witch and have many adventures. Their adventures include confronting various messy situations like being caught in a cottage without a door, accidently bumping into the island of the notorious red goblin, then in an island of giants, then their adventure in the Land of clever people where you have to always speak in rhyme and make up a riddle everyday, then in the green railway and toadstool town. They also fight the Golden dwarf, rescue the Dragon-bird and finally, after encountering countless odd adventures, they rescue the princess.

This book is a must-read.
