Puck of Pook's Hill by Rudyard Kipling
"Puck of Pook's Hill" by Rudyard Kipling is a fantasy book published in 1906 containing stories set across different periods of English history. When two children living in Sussex encounter the ancient elf Puck, he magically summons figures from England's past—Roman soldiers, Norman knights, Danish seafarers, and others—who share tales of conquest, adventure, and intrigue. Each story, bracketed by poems, reveals fragments of England's history, from Hadrian's Wall to the signing of
Magna Carta, blending historical detail with magical elements. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
