Produktbeschreibung
Rewards and Fairies is a historical fantasy book by Rudyard Kipling published in 1910. The title comes from the poem "Farewell, Rewards and Fairies" by Richard Corbet. The poem is referred to by the children in the first story of the preceding book Puck of Pook's Hill. Rewards and Fairies is set one year later chronologically although published four years afterwards. The book consists of a series of short stories set in historical times with a linking contemporary narrative. Dan and Una are two children, living in the Weald of Sussex in the area of Kipling's own home Bateman's. They have encountered Puck and he magically conjures up real and fictional individuals from Sussex's past to tell the children some aspect of its history and prehistory, though the episodes are not always historically accurate. Another recurring character is Old Hobden who represents the continuity of the inhabitants of the land. His ancestors sometimes appear in the stories and seem very much like him. Some stories contain elements of the supernatural as well as history.
Autorenporträt
During the height of the British Empire, Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was a British author and poet who was born in Bombay, British India. As seen by his evocative depictions of colonial life, Kipling's early years in India had a profound influence on his later works. A large portion of his early years were spent apart from his parents; this is portrayed in his narrative "The Jungle Book." With a wide variety of works, including novels, poetry, and short tales, Kipling's creative career took off. His most famous works are "Kim," a book set in British India, and "The Jungle Book," an anthology of tales that went on to become a classic in children's literature. Kipling was the youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature when it was granted in 1907. Themes of imperialism, patriotism, and the intricacies of cross-cultural relationships were frequently covered in his writings. Because of his imperialist beliefs, Kipling's legacy has come under fire even though he was quite popular during his lifetime. However, his place in literary history has been cemented by his ability to fascinate readers with his storytelling prowess and his effect on adventure literature.
