The first book of fascinating stories told by the forest spirit Puck, wise, kind, and mischievous.
Kipling, together with Puck, transports us to Old England, a world of kings and knights, travelers and smugglers, historical figures, and heroes of English folk tales.
All the stories and poems in this book were composed by the great English writer and poet Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) for his children, so the boy Dan and the girl Una, like the author himself, invisibly present on the pages of the book, are quite real.
'...The People of the Hills have left the Hills. I saw them come to Old England, and I saw them leave. Giants, trolls, kelpies, brownies, goblins, imps - they are no more. No one is left. I came to England with the Oak, the Ash, and the Thorn, and when the Oak, the Ash, and the Thorn disappear, so will I...
"Now you both have lawfully come into possession of all Old England," Puck pronounced in a sing-song voice. "By the right of the Oak, the Ash, and the Thorn, you are free to come and go, to look and learn whatever I will show you, and all that you yourselves desire. You will see WHAT you will see, and hear WHAT you will hear, even if IT happened three thousand years ago. And neither Doubt nor Fear shall touch you...'
