Rewards and Fairies by Rudyard Kipling
"Rewards and Fairies" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of short stories written during the late 19th century. This enchanting work features siblings Dan and Una, who are introduced to the whimsical character Puck, a fairy who enables them to see and interact with historical figures from England's past. Through their adventures, readers are invited into a world where magic intertwines with history, illustrating themes of belonging, nature, and the progression of
time. At the start of the book, we find Dan and Una exploring their rural surroundings on Midsummer Morning, reflecting on their changing lives as they don new boots. Their encounter with Puck recalls their previous adventures, as he guides them on a journey to meet various historical personalities. The initial story, "Cold Iron," introduces a magical element linked to the influence of iron in their lives and the lives of the mystical People of the Hills. It sets the tone for the stories to unfold, establishing a blend of folklore and historical inquiry that defines their experiences with the enchanting past of England.
