About this book

"Puck's Broom" by E. Gordon Browne is a children’s fantasy novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around George Henry, a boy who is determined to seek his fortune along with his faithful dog, Alexander, in a magical land filled with fairies and whimsical adventures. This imaginative tale promises a journey through a vibrant world where the boundaries of reality and fantasy blur. The opening portion introduces George Henry as a wonder-child, born under a lucky star and loved by fairies, including Puck, who often plays mischievous tricks. As George grows up, he is unaware of the fairies watching over him, and he does not believe in their existence, even as tales of enchanting creatures and places surround him. George's close bond with his dog Alexander is highlighted as they embark on adventures together, seemingly unaware of the magic woven through their daily lives. The stage is set for George's journey into a fantastical realm where he will confront his disbelief and uncover the wonders that lie beyond his understanding.
