A nice clean copy in an attractive recent leather binding. Very good. 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.

Catalogue Note: This handsome volume forms part of the celebrated Sussex Edition definitively considered the most desirable and luxurious presentation of the author's collected works. Limited to 525 sets of which 500 were for sale the edition was carefully revised by the author in the final years of his life representing his ultimate definitive text.

Printed on high-quality handmade paper bearing a Ganesha watermark the book showcases a superb tactile quality with its top-edge gilt and uncut lower and fore-edges. While complete sets of this edition are incredibly rare in part because a substantial portion of the unbound sheets was destroyed by bombing during the London Blitz in 1941 individual volumes are highly sought after by collectors looking to experience the zenith of twentieth-century fine press production.

The volume gathers some of the author's most poignant and celebrated stories including the hauntingly beautiful "They" and the pioneering science-fiction tale "Wireless." Alongside these deeply atmospheric pieces the collection features robust naval adventures introducing the unforgettable Petty Officer Pyecroft as well as incisive realistic stories reflecting the complexities of the South African War.
