Rewards and Fairies
Rewards and Fairies, published in 1910, is Rudyard Kipling's sequel to Puck of Pook's Hill. Dan and Una, two children in Sussex, again meet Puck, who calls up people from the English past to tell them stories: Queen Elizabeth, a Neolithic flint-worker, a Renaissance craftsman, a Saxon bishop, a smuggler's son who met Washington in Philadelphia, a seventeenth-century astrologer-doctor and others. Each story is framed by poems, among them "Cold Iron," "The Way Through the Woods," "Eddi's Service," "The Thousandth Man" and "If—," first published here. History, landscape and moral lessons mingle in a book for children and adults. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first story is free.
