Puck of Pook's Hill

A collection of fantastical short stories about the history of England, narrated to two children by the mischievous Puck, a mythological figure familiar to many from Shakespeare's play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. Puck leads off with a story set just prior to the Norman Conquest of England, and concludes with a tale from the time of the Magna Carta. In between are stories from the Roman and Viking eras, providing an informative look at the early development of England as a nation, told through the lens of historical fantasy by a master storyteller.
