    • Individual chapters, which could be viewed as separate stories (making this book a collection) are: Brownie and the cook; Brownie and the cherry tree; Brownie and the farmyard; Brownie's ride; Brownie on the ice; and Brownie and the clothes.
    • Wood-engraved illustrations signed "HP" and "H. Paterson" (i.e., Helen Paterson Allingham). 6 plates of leaves, not included in the page count.
    • 4 pages of publisher's advertisements at the end, not included in the page count.
