Résumé

Résumé : This book is a collection of short stories that transports the reader to a world where the past and present magically intertwine. The book follows the adventures of Dan and Una, two children living in the English countryside, who encounter Puck, the last of the fairies in England. Through the magic of the trees the oak, the ash, and the hawthorn Puck allows them to see and hear events and people from the past, such as a knight of the Norman Conquest or a Roman centurion. Through these encounters, the children discover fascinating stories from English history, enriched with myths and legends. Themes of magic, history, and childhood combine to offer a captivating exploration of English culture and traditions. The stories are punctuated with poems and songs, adding a lyrical dimension to the whole. The book is a celebration of the imagination and richness of folklore, while offering a reflection on the passage of time and the evolution of traditions.
Biographie : Rudyard Kipling, born in 1865 in Bombay, was a British writer whose work left its mark on the literature of his time. Known for his tales of the British Empire, Kipling captured the collective imagination with stories that blended exoticism and realism. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907, he wrote classics such as "The Jungle Book" and "Kim." His writings are often characterized by an exploration of themes of childhood, adventure, and the complexity of human relationships. Kipling was also a master of storytelling, using rich and evocative language to bring his characters and their worlds to life. His ability to integrate mythological and historical elements into his stories made him a key figure in English literature. As a keen observer of his time, Kipling captured the tensions and wonders of his era in prose that continues to resonate today.
