Brownie is a household spirit in English and Scottish folklore who is believed to help with household chores if satisfied with food or small gifts. Brownies were first mentioned in Scottish folk tales during the 16th century as small creatures with brown hair and clothing who inhabited houses and performed helpful tasks, such as mending clothes or preparing meals. They were said to be very shy and rarely seen by humans, but their presence could be felt through the completion of tasks left unfinished by household members. Over time, the depiction of brownies in folklore evolved to include magical abilities and a mischievous nature. It was believed they could cause harm to humans if displeased, but they could also use their powers to bring good fortune. The superstition surrounding brownies has become less prominent in modern times, but the concept of small household spirits who provide assistance still persists in various cultures around the world.

Broonie Brownie, a fairy creature, hailed from Aberdeen shire, in the highlands of Scotland. He was known as a helpful household spirit. But he could be mischievous, for he felt a thrill in pranking a lazy or mean-spirited person. He lived with the Sellers family in an ancient, stone cottage with a red door. Brownie loved his home. He never would have believed what was about to happen to him, for brownies don't like change. But change was indeed coming, for the Sellers family had decided to move to America. Over sea and land came the Scottish family to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. Along with them came Broonie Brownie who watched out for the family in their travels-experiencing ocean waves, the bump and scrap of a wagon, rain and lightning, wolves, mountain lions and bears-to reach a forever home.
