NOTES
Puck of Pook's Hill is one of the lesser known tales of Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1935); the famed author of "The Jungle Book." It is a fantasy novel, containing a series of short stories set in different periods of English history. The stories are all narrated to two children living near Burwash (East Sussex) - by people magically plucked out of history by the elf Puck, or told by Puck himself. The genres of particular stories range from authentic historical novella (A Centurion of the Thirtieth, On the Great Wall) to children's fantasy (Dymchurch Flit) - and are all bracketed by Kipling's masterful poetry
