Kipling's popular series of tales set in different historical eras including Roman Britain Anglo-Saxon England The Norman Conquest The Middle Ages and the Tudor Period. The stories are all told to two children living near Pevensey East Sussex by characters magically plucked out of history by 'Puck'. Traditionally the term 'Puck' referred to a malicious spirit or demon of popular superstition and from the 16th century the name of a mischievous goblin or Hobgoblin similar to that appearing in Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' the fairy scene from which is acted out here. Although 'Puck' is seen as a children's book in the same way 'Treasure Island' or 'King Solomon's Mines' are viewed the story-tellers are adults and the romances they describe would only be suitable for older readers.

Hand coloured stylised capitals throughout the text some offsetting; superb printing in two colours on hand-made paper by the famous Arts and Crafts movement founded by E. Hubbard. Roycroft was a reformist community of craft workers and artists which formed part of the Arts and Crafts movement in the USA. Elbert Hubbard founded the community in 1895 in the village of East Aurora Erie County New York. Elbert Hubbard had been influenced by the ideas of William Morris on a visit to England. He was unable to find a publisher for his book Little Journeys so inspired by Morris's Kelmscott Press decided to set up his own private press to print the book himself founding Roycroft Press. His championing of the Arts and Crafts approach attracted a number of visiting craftspeople to East Aurora and they formed a community of printers furniture makers metalsmiths leathersmiths and bookbinders. In 1915 Hubbard and his wife noted suffragette Alice Moore Hubbard died in the sinking of RMS Lusitania and the Roycroft community went into a gradual decline.
