The Rollarounds ( Land of Tiddlywinks) might be cousins of the Hoo-Moo-Loos because they are very similar ball-like creatures. The Hoo-Moo-Loos are to be found in The Green Goblin Book (Later - Feefo, Tuppeny and Jinks), which came out about ten years after this one. Leprechauns appear as super small, aged men dressed in green or red. They often wear a pointed cap and love to smoke pipes. They’re mainly found in Ireland.The typical drawing of the Brownie in Scottish lore shows the fairy sleeping with the barn cat. Brownies will get angry if you mistreat your pets because they can form quite tight bonds with animals. She can appear in a lot of different forms. According to fairy-lore, she is known to appear either as a beautiful young woman, a stately matron, or an old, ugly hag. For teens that love exploring fairies and anything magic-related, Tales of Mundane Magic: Volume One is a great read. This story is about two sisters named Gertie and Bridget. Each of these two girls has special abilities with Gertie spending time learning all about enchantment and Bridget being able to perceive things with her left eye that no one else can. They take potions classes and enjoy games of basketball and every once in a while, a magical anomaly takes place. It’s a story that weaves magic with the mundane while covering the beautiful sister relationship between Gertie and Bridget.

Pixies will choose an area or community to live in, but these communities get torn up quite often to build homes and developments. Ideally, you will never encounter a Boggart because you won’t anger a Brownie, but if you do get into a situation with a Boggart, you may need to do an exorcism of your home.The King and Queen are holding a dance tonight and the Lord High Chancellor of Fairyland has arrived to buy yards of various ribbons to make an archway leading from the Palace to the woods. Mother Ribbony Rose unrolls all kinds of ribbons to display them for her important customer so it looks as if Pinkity will have to work overtime to get all the rolls re-rolled. When the Chancellor has departed, poor little Pinkity accidentally ruins all the ribbon that has been earmarked for the palace and the result is that he becomes a fugitive. Yes, he's on the run from Mother Ribbony and if he's caught he'll be taken to the Palace and punished. It's round about here that Enid Blyton once again gives us an insight into how a plant characteristic originated and Pinkity plays a part in the process. Mermaids are huge in pop culture, so most people don’t believe in them. However, in the witch/magical community, Mermaids are definitely real. a b c Cline, Lynn (1 November 2002).
