Book description
Puck of Pook’s Hill is Kipling’s magical evocation of England’s history, a joyous celebration of all that is best in a country and its peoples.
Two children, Dan and Una, acting out their version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in a Sussex meadow, miraculously conjure up Puck himself. Small, blue-eyed Puck, old as Time itself, brings back the past for them to witness. He re-creates a Roman centurion, a Norman knight, a Renaissance craftsman and the villages of time gone by and, in so doing, gives Dan and Una a clear sense of history and their own heritage.
