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. Each story is preceded and followed by a poem, including If—, often described as Britain's favourite poem. Other well known poems included in the book are Cold Iron and The Way through the Woods.

Rewards and Fairies With NotesBiographyIllustrated edition by Rudyard Kipling Jan Oliveira Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
In childhood all things are possible. Belief and imagination are strong, so when presented with seemingly outlandish situations and stories, it's easy to accept them as truth. Rewards and Fairies by Rudyard Kipling offers numerous fantastic stories as told to two children.
In their free time adventures, Dan and Una come across their old friend Puck, a fairy, and slowly remember the adventures they had the last time they met with Puck, who had removed that time from their memories to keep the fairy world safely secret. Encountering new stories as they come across people who all happen to know Puck, Dan and Una learn some new things to either accept as is or try to place in the context of their own lives.
An interesting collection of short stories and poems, this book offers both entertainment and an exploration of some darker, deeper themes. The language was beautifully crafted -and I'd expect nothing less from Kipling - and the historical events and stories that these tales pulled from were familiar enough to provide context but unique enough to stand alone as something vaguely new. Having not read the predecessor to this book, I didn't feel as if I was missing any key aspects to understand (although the footnotes did suggest reading the other book for clarification of certain stories), but reading it might offer a better comprehension of if this volume offers growth upon what was previously presented.

Kipling's best
Not quite as good as Puck of Pook's Hill by Rudyard Kipling, but still a lot of fun!
Follow Una, Dan, and Puck through the History of their part of England (and beyond -- even to America), and meet the interesting people who were part of it!
This book is so slow. There is no character growth and no over-arching plot line.
... not as readable as 'Puck of Pook's Hill'. It does include the poem 'If...' . If nothing else grab a copy to complete your Kipling collection.
I wish all books about British history (or any country's history for that matter) were as fun to read as "Puck of Pook's Hill" and "Rewards and Fairies".
Gratefully, the oak, ash, and thorn that affected Dan's and Una's memory has not seemed to impair my memory of the stories.
