Editorial Reviews Review ''The hidden history of Old England, lovingly written by Kipling for his own children, is coupled with a brilliant reading to make this one of the premier family listening events of the y ear. The story has everything listeners could want: enchantment, high adventure, battles, intrigue, all wrapped up in romantic poe tic language . . . brought exquisitely to life by [Wanda McCaddon ].'' --AudioFile ''[Wanda McCaddon] . . . has the requisite Brit ish accent and very good judgment as to how to make the tales exc iting yet believable.'' --Wilson Library Bulletin --This text ref ers to an alternate paperback edition. From the Back Cover Puck of Pook's Hill and Rewards and Fairies are classic children's boo ks which speak powerfully to adult readers. Una and Dan, performi ng a scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream one Midsummer's Eve, ac cidentally summon Puck to a fairy ring near their Sussex home. Th rough Puck the children are witnesses to tales of English history , subtly called forth by Kipling's brilliant and fluid adventure writing. Kipling's historical imagination extends to a wide varie ty of stories, many of which blend the ghostly and the familiar, and often anticipate his later writing in their themes: a sense o f loss and breakdown, but also healing. First published in magazi nes between 1906 and 1910, the stories were accompanied by some o f Kipling's most famous poems, including 'If-' and 'The Way throu gh the Woods'. This edition includes an introduction which dispel s the myth that these stories are simply a nostalgic view of Engl ish history, discusses their relationship to other historical fic tion, and relates them to Kipling's earlier and later writings. - -This text refers to an alternate paperback edition.

At s eventeen Kipling began work as a journalist and over the next sev en years established an international reputation with his stories and verses of Indian and Army life, including such classics as T he Jungle Book and Kim. In 1907, he became the first English writ er to receive the Nobel Prize. --This text refers to an alternate paperback edition. From AudioFile The hidden history of Old Eng land, lovingly written by Kipling for his own children, is couple d with a brilliant reading to make this one of the premier family listening events of the year. The story has everything listeners could want: enchantment, high adventure, battles, intrigue, all wrapped up in romantic poetic language. Through pitch and pacing alone, Nadia May conveys not only the distinct voices of the chil dren, Dan and Una, but also those of the impish Puck and a host o f characters who tell the story of those who lived near Pook's Hi ll. In true turn-of-the-century fashion, the book isn't the least bit politically correct, but Kipling's language fairly glows and , after all, how could he know about modern-day sensibilities? Al low yourself to succumb to the magical tale, awakened by Dan and Una on Midsummer's Eve and brought exquisitely to life by Nadia M ay. S.G.
