Puck of Pook's Hill by Rudyard Kipling
"Puck of Pook's Hill" by Rudyard Kipling is a fantasy book published in 1906, containing short stories set across different periods of English history. When two children living in Sussex encounter the ancient elf Puck, he summons figures from England's past—Roman soldiers, Norman knights, Danish seafarers—to share their tales. Each story reveals fragments of history, from Hadrian's Wall to the Norman Conquest, blending authentic historical detail with magical elements. Together, these episodes
trace England's formation through centuries of conquest, survival, and transformation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
