Opis

This is Rudyard Kipling's 1910 historical fantasy book, 'Rewards and Fairies'. Two children named Dan and Una live in Kipling's former home in the Weald of Sussex. One day they encounter a fairy called Puck who uses magic to summon real and fictional characters from Sussex's past to impart to the children details of its history. This timeless and beautifully illustrated story would make for ideal bedtime reading, and is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Kipling's work. Contents include: 'A Charm', 'Introduction', 'Cold Iron', 'Gloriana', 'The Two Cousins', 'The Looking-Glass', 'The Wrong Thing', 'A Truthful Song', 'King Henry VII and the Shipwrights', 'Marklake Witches', 'The Way Through the Woods', 'Brookland Road', 'The Knife an the Naked Chalk', et cetera. Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was a seminal English writer of short stories, novelist, and poet. He is most famous for his poems concerning British soldiers in India and his wonderful children's stories. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition for the enjoyment of a modern readership. Illustrations by Frank Craig.
