Reseña del libro "Puck of Pook's Hill (en Inglés)"

As this fantasy book begins, two children have finished performing bits of Shakespeare's "Midsummer' Night's Dream" and meet Puck on Pook's Hill, which was originally named Puck's Hill. Puck tells the children he is "the oldest Old Thing in England," and he entertains them with stories about English history, which he magically plucks characters out of history to tell. The stories range from Roman times to the fifteenth century. The combination of history and fantasy has made this book a beloved favorite of both children and adults since it was first published in 1906. Rudyard Kipling was a poet, short story writer, and novelist. He was born in Bombay, educated in England, and lived in both India and England as an adult. His best-known works for children include The Jungle Book, Kim, and Just So Stories as well as Puck of Pook's Hill. His best known poems include "Gunga Din," "The Road to Mandalay," and "If." In 1907, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature, the first writer in the English language to receive the prize. In addition to facsimiles of the stories as they were published in The Strand, with illustrations by Claude Allen Shepperson, this edition contains poems that Kipling added when Puck of Pook's Hill was published in book form. About this Series Heritage Facsimile Editions are reproductions of classic works of literature as they first appeared in illustrated magazines. In the days before electronic media, illustrated magazines were one of the most common forms of popular entertainment, filled with stories and serialized novels. The illustrations were a key part of the reader's experience. There was a delay before these stories and novels were published in book form, to give people an incentive to subscribe to the magazines. The books often omitted the illustrations to reduce costs. This series publishes the books using facsimiles of the magazine articles, including the original illustrations.

Bombay, (1865-1936). Rudyard Kipling escribió novelas, poemas y relatos ambientados principalmente en la India y Birmania durante la época de gobierno británico. Kipling fue un escritor prolífico y popular, y su literatura gira siempre en torno a tres ejes: el patriotismo, el deber de los ingleses de llevar una vida de intensa actividad y el destino de Inglaterra, llamada a ser un gran imperio. Su insistencia en este último aspecto era sin duda un eco del pasado victoriano, y perjudicó gravemente su reputación como escritor, a pesar de que fue el primer autor británico galardonado con el Nobel de Literatura.
