Rewards and Fairies
Rewards and Fairies is a historical fantasy book by Rudyard Kipling, published in 1910 as a sequel to 'Puck of Pook's Hill.' The narrative follows siblings Dan and Una as they encounter the legendary figure Puck, who introduces them to various historical characters from England's past, spanning from the flint and iron ages to the era of Queen Elizabeth I and beyond. The collection features notable poems, including 'If—' and 'The Way Through the Woods,' and explores themes of childhood wonder, history, and the transition to adulthood through a blend of fact and fantasy.

“If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:If you can dream”
— Rudyard Kipling
“For these simples used aright Shall restore a failing sight. These shall cleanse and purify Webbed and inward-turning eye; These shall show thee treasure hid, Thy familiar fields amid, At thy threshold, on thy hearth, Or about thy daily path; And reveal (which is thy need) Every man a King indeed!””
— Rudyard Kipling
