When Dan and Una stage a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream in a fairy ring, they are astonished by the appearance of Puck in person. He explains that he is the last of the People of the Hills, who started as gods before descending into this world.

Puck leads the two children in a series of extraordinary historical adventures in which they meet, Romans and Crusaders, Saxons and Vikings. Kipling's charming songs and verses, including the famous Smuggler's Song are placed between each thrilling story. The book is beautifully illustrated by H.R. Millar.

作者简介

著者：吉卜林，英国小说家、诗人。以“观察的能力、新颖的想象、雄浑的思想和杰出的叙事才能”，于1907年获得诺贝尔文学奖，他是迄今为止最年轻的获奖者，这也是英国历史上第一个诺贝尔文学奖。吉卜林深受许多国家儿童甚至成人喜爱的作家，他的作品简洁凝炼，新奇浪漫，荡漾着大英帝国式的奋发的精神和意志力，其短篇小说尤为人称道，被誉为“狄更斯的继承人”“英国的巴尔扎克”。马克?吐温曾这样赞美道：“我了解吉卜林的书……它们对于我从来不会变得苍白，它们保持着缤纷的色彩；它们永远是新鲜的。”

译者：刘仲敬，长于新疆，而独以川人自属。尝操宋慈故业，而自授史学。刀下阅尸，笔下著史，足可谓神来转身。昔以文言译休谟《英国史》四卷，开华文先河；著述《民国纪事本末》，亦可堪奇书。
