A pair of children happen across an ancient shrine, where they conjure up an impish sprite named Puck, who treats them to a series of tales about Old England. Rudyard Kipling, the storyteller behind Puck’s fables, lived in the East Sussex region of Pook’s Hill. To amuse his children, Kipling created these quasi-historical stories about the people who lived in their neighborhood centuries ago.Readers of all ages will treasure Puck’s ten magical tales of adventure and intrigue. Kipling’s imaginative blend of fact and fancy transports readers back to the days of William the Conqueror, to the camps of the Roman legions who guarded Hadrian’s Wall against the Picts, and to the thirteenth-century court of King John. All of the stories abound in the freshness of invention and narrative vigor that have kept the author’s books popular for generations. Each enchanting myth is followed by a selection of Kipling’s spirited poetry.
