Book excerpt: Puck of Pook's Hill is a fantasy book by Rudyard Kipling, published in 1906, containing a series of short stories set in different periods of English history Puck of Pook's Hill is one of the lesser-known tales of Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1935); the famed author of 'The Jungle Book'.

Throughout his career, he developed a unique style, combining haunting humor with dream-like romance. Presented alongside the text, his illustrations further refine and elucidate Kipling's masterful storytelling.
