November 27-December 3, 2002 mixpicks Fairies, Brownies and TrollsFeaturing tales retold and recycled for hundreds of years, the ancient art of storytelling (and the folklore that grew up from it) has been part of the shared human consciousness since people first began gathering together in groups. It is how history was chronicled before the written word, through the retelling of myths and legends for each passing generation. Though the practice of storytelling has waned since the invention of more interactive communication, its presence is still felt -- be it based in a galaxy far, far away or around the Thanksgiving table. The Brandywine River Museum is doing their part in the preservation of this facet of Americana legend, with a retrospective of American fairy tales and folklore, "Fairies, Brownies and Trolls: Images of Fantasy and Magic." On display will be original works, photographs and book drawings by a spectrum of artists including Norman Rockwell, Palmer Cox and Franklin Booth. The exhibit promises to be an engaging and enlightening look at a world of wonderment populated by ogres, giants and assorted "wee people." Definitely recommended for those of us waiting to fill that gap between Harry Potter installments. “Fairies, Brownies and Trolls: Images of Fantasy and Magic,” runs Nov. 29-Jan. 5, 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p..m., $3-$6 museum admission, Brandywine River Museum, U.S. Rt. 1 and Pa. Route 100, Chadds Ford, 610-388-2700.
