Puck of Pook Hill edition by Rudyard Kipling H R Harold Robert Millar Literature Fiction eBooks
If you like Harry Potter, this book is for you!The British have a wonderful tradition of excellent adult authors writing fantasy children's books that are also fun reads for adults. J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter", C.S. Lewis' "Alice in Wonderland" and "Chronicles of Narnia", and J. M. Barrie's "Peter Pan" all spring to mind. Even J.R.R. Tolkien's "Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings" were YA accessible and appropriate. But who would have thought Rudyard Kipling falls into this category?
The book Puck of Pook's Hill follows two children, Dan and his sister Una, as they spend an enchanted summer in the English countryside. When they perform Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" under the oldest hill in England three times in a row on Midsummer's Eve, who should appear, but the magical faun Puck.
In a series of short episodes, Puck introduces Dan and Una to various characters from England's history, including a Roman legionnaire, a Nobleman, a money-lender, a blacksmith, and one of the old pre-Christian pagan Gods -- Weyland. The story-telling is masterful, the writing lyrical, and the plot moves along quite quickly. The story is interspersed with lots of poems by Kipling, who was, after all, a master poet. Puck is the type of book you can read out loud to your children in the evening, and they won't get bored. Each chapter is just the right length for a bedtime story. Or, you can keep it all to yourself and savor every last word of it. The only problem with reading it to your children is that they will ask you millions of questions about it. There are some historical references that non-British readers may not understand, for which I would recommend the reference list at [...]

Puck of Pook Hill edition by Rudyard Kipling H R Harold Robert Millar Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
How can you possibly comment on Puck of Pook's Hill? It is what it is! I cannot vouch for the historical accuracy of the children's adventures in their time warps but it does not need that. It is drowsy summer's day stuff. It is kindly and home like and you can all go home for a cup of tea and scones! W.J. Walter
What a surprising delight. Kipling slyly unfolds the history of England (well, the juicy parts) from Roman soldiers at the wall, to Knights of old, Pirates, smugglers, to the Magna Charta. The woodland imp Puck orchestrates these tales to the amusement and awe of two young children. This is called a book of children's tales but no more so than Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings.
I ran across this book title in another book I was reading and realized I had never read it. So I ordered it off for my and thouroughly enjoyed the story. It would be good for teens and maybe even younger kids to read for themselves, or to be read aloud to youngsters, a chapter at a time, as a bedtime story.
Rudyard Kipling. Puck, Roman soldiers guarding the Wall, medieval lords fighting and having adventures, The Wild Hunt. This was written for children, but I still enjoy it. I have an old bound copy, but it was good to see this book offered for .
I liked this because of it's locality, I lived just by Pooks Hill at the top of Willingford Lane and not far from Kipling's own house. I also enjoyed the historical story of events around the area, and the characters, A childrens' book of it's time.
I'm surprused this book isn't better known. It's a charming tale of the stories told by an elf to two children.
I was surprised, upon reading it, to see the plot-lines of many, many "Prince Valiant" comics from my childhood. Obviously, hal Foster had read "Puck of Pooks Hill!"
This book had no main over- arching plot and the chapter stories were mostly uninteresting. The main characters never grow and we don't even really get to know them at all.
If you like Harry Potter, this book is for you!
