It intertwines fairy tales, contemplative essays, and festive poems, aiming to illustrate the beauty and wisdom found in the simplicity of life. The collection begins with the titular story "The Grey Brethren," which explores the tender recollections of childhood encapsulated in the life of Quakers. In the subsequent pieces, Fairless moves seamlessly between fairy tales, such as "The Dreadful Griffin" and "The Story of the Tinkle-Tinkle," each containing moral lessons and enchanting elements designed for children.
