            Aat this time,i choose "runaway brownie" book for my review task, this book was written by mary calhoun, published by George j .inc feod limited,in Toronto on 1967, this book  has 31 pages, mary calhoun takes the story based on Scottish folklore the reason why i chose "runaway brownie" book is because this book has very interesting appearance and title,this book has been written by using third person point of view, this book based on any fairy story that came from europe, this book for the kids,but it's not impossible many adults learn something good from this book

            The story of this book is about a fairy who serve Rob’s family, that fairy named angus, angus is described as little man that  half-human and half-beastie, and i think he looks like combination of a dwarf and an elf,angus has served Rob’s family for more than a hundred years, rob's family love angus,and angus loves rob's family too, by the existence of that fairy on that family,somehow that family become the prosperer family of that village,someday,Rob’s family’s head died,and their heir come to Rob’s family house,his name is Duncan,he is very greedy man,he got Rob’s family’s legacy and he want to exploit Rob’s family fairy,Duncan wants to give Angus a cloak that made from the finest wool,he wants to do that because he thinks Angus will love him more if he gives angus a present,but Meg(Rob’s mother) warns duncan,she said that if he gives Angus some clothes,Angus will run away from house and never return.Unfortunately,Mr.Duncan doesn’t  heed that warn and give Angus a present anyway so Angus can gives Mr Duncan more riches,on the next day,Mr. Duncen meet Angus and gives him a cloak tha made from the finest wool,Angus accepts it and run away from house immediately,Mr.Duncan thinks Angus just went to outside to do his daily job,but,even after many weeks,Angus never return to Rob’s family’s house,Mr.Duncan tried to looks for Angus but he always fail,Angus does not want to return bacause thinks they do not need Angus anymore. Mr .Duncan so dissapointed and the he leaves the house to lookis for the job in the city,eventually,Rob(Rob’s family’s youngest son) try to searchs Angus and ask him to return to his House,he shouts all the way,he said that his family need angus,at last,angus hears tha voice and appear on the front of Rob,Angus feels that Rob’s Family need him again,so Angus agree to return to Rob’s house, a few weeks after Angus has returned,Rob’s family became prosperous than before

            What make me interested with this book is because it has simple story that can be understood by anyone,the story was not very complex and it has very good advice,but thereis one thing that make me think this is the lack of this book,that thing is this book illustration, I thing the illustration isn’t good enough BUT at least it can image the situation of this book’s story,

However,i still like this book,I very recommended this book for you or your child’s sleep story,that because this book tells to  us to don’t be greedy
