Rewards and Fairies

"Rewards and Fairies" by Rudyard Kipling is a series of imaginative stories for kids set in the early 1900s that follows brother and sister, Dan and Una, as they play with Puck, a magical creature, and meet people from England's past. It builds on the stories from "Puck of Pook's Hill," showing the magic of being a child and the fascinating history of their home. When the book begins, the excited children meet Puck on Midsummer Morning, recalling past fun. Puck teaches them about Cold Iron and its importance to fairies. The sweet talks and adventures in the countryside reveal the innocence of childhood before tackling bigger ideas about magic, history, and growing up.
