The adventures of a brownie and The little lame prince

Dinah Maria Mulock enjoyed a highly successful and diverse writing career and is perhaps best known today for her novel John Halifax, Gentleman (1857). A prolific author of fiction, essays and poetry, Mulock contributed many items, including supernatural material, to the popular magazines of the mid-Victorian period. Her short stories were subsequently collected in a variety of works. Following her marriage in 1864, her work was attributed to 'Mrs Craik'. -- from Shadows in the Attic: A Guide to British Supernatural Fiction 1820-1950, Neil Wilson (2000)
