Publisher's Synopsis

Rewards and Fairies is a collection of short stories and poems by Rudyard Kipling, published in 1910. The book is a sequel to Kipling's earlier work, Puck of Pook's Hill, and follows the same format of stories that blend history, folklore, and imagination. The stories are set in England, and many of them are based on real historical events and figures, such as the Battle of Hastings and King Alfred the Great. The book also features characters from Puck of Pook's Hill, including Puck himself, who serves as a narrator and guide. The stories in Rewards and Fairies explore themes of courage, loyalty, and honor, and are written in Kipling's distinctive style, which combines vivid descriptions with a strong sense of moral purpose. The book has been praised for its imaginative storytelling and its ability to bring history to life for young readers.Now you can understand their indignation when, one blowy July afternoon, as they were going up for a potato-roast, they saw somebody moving among the trees. They hurled themselves over the gate, dropping half the potatoes, and while they were picking them up Puck came out of a wigwam.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
