The individual stories are a bit uneven, and the history is, shall we say, a bit biased, but the poetry is pure Kipling - this is one that amply deserves it's status as a classic. Surprisingly easy to read, too. If you want to understand Kipling, this is as good a place as any to start. ( ) Puck, «ese duende maligno y despabilado» de El Sueño de una noche de verano de Shakespeare, un espíritu tan travieso como buen chico, vuelve a la tierra para contarnos la historia real de Inglaterra y de los ingleses. Puck, convertido en apropiadísimo introductor de embajadores históricos, presentará ante los ojos asombrados de dos niños unas realidades y acontecimientos que sucedieron en tiempos antiguos, cuando los seres humanos eran muy distintos. Esta atmósfera de real irrealidad es uno de los rasgos más bellos de este libro, que combina admirablemente la filosofía occidental de la acción con el sentido oriental de lo fantástico, lo mágico, lo maravilloso. Full of fancies an quirks, this exploration of 1500 years of Sussex history guided by Puck, the oldest spirit in England, is probably at the foundation of my fascination for history. Clearly written for children it is not childish in it's presentation of past milieu, though certainly of its time. The Guttenberg text did not include illustrations, but Wikipedia came to the rescue. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
