The first Brownie story by author and illustrator Palmer Cox, The Brownie’s Ride, appeared in St. Nicholas February 1883. Twenty four Brownie stories followed between 1883 and 1887. In 1887 they were collected and published as The Brownies, Their Book.

In 1890 a second series of twelve stories from St. Nicholas were combined with twelve others and published as Another Brownie Book. Cox began writing for the Ladies Home Journal and produced a series called The Brownies Through the Year.

In 1893 these were collected into a third book, The Brownies at Home. The Brownie stories were light-hearted and fun for their readers. The Brownies engaged in activities children could relate to and the stories often included current events. following is a list of all twelve Brownie books by Palmer Cox:
