Puck of Pook's Hill is a short stories composition written by Rudyard Kipling. The composition of these fantasy stories, was first published, in 1906. In these short stories Puck, a magical Faun narrates British history, covering different periods to two children Dan and his sister Una. Pucks magic is amazing, he brings fantasy and history into the children's everyday world. He introduces characters from English history, Roman cavalier, old Christian pagan Gods and various other stories about Vikings, pirates, killer apes, smugglers fairies etc. Through his breadth of imagination author narrates beauty, comedy and tragedy of life. He also gives a vivid picture of war, politics, adventure, clash of conquerors and settlers of the region.

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.
