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. (Excerpt from Wikipedia)
