Puck of Pook's Hill is a book by Rudyard Kipling, published in 1906.Two children, Dan and Una, while amusing themselves performing extracts from A Midsummer Night's Dream on Pook's Hill on Midsummer's Eve, inadvertantly summon up Puck, "the oldest Old Thing in England". He takes a liking to them, and offers to teach them about the history of the land.The book proceeds in a series of short stories, in a variety of genres and styles, about events at various points in history. (As each story has some connection with Dan and Una's local area, it's mostly English history, but there are also stories about local people visiting foreign lands and foreign people who settled locally.) Some are narrated by Puck himself, others by figures he produces out of history by mysterious means, such as a Roman legionary and a knight who fought with William the Conqueror. Each story has a prologue and epilogue in which Dan and Una come to hear the story and then reflect on what they've heard; as usual for Kipling, there are also poems reflecting themes from the stories.A sequel, Rewards and Fairies, was published in 1910 and continues in the same vein; it includes the first appearance of the famous poem "If—".These books provide examples of: | |
