Kipling<\/strong>\u00a0 wrote<\/p>\n some fairly long books<\/p>\n that are not novels<\/p>\n in the usual sense of the word.<\/p>\n Rather, they are collected stories.<\/p>\n Even if there is a common \u00ableitmotiv\u00bb<\/p>\n the several parts may be read as \u00abstandalone\u00bb tales.<\/p>\n \u00abPuck of Pook\u2019s Hill\u00bb and \u00abRewards and Fairies\u00bb<\/p>\n are composed precisely in this way.<\/p>\n So \u00abRewards\u00bb is not a \u00absequel\u00bb to \u00abPuck\u00bb,<\/p>\n but just another batch of similar tales<\/p>\n set in no particular order.<\/p>\n As far as I can see:<\/p>\n the chronology is uncertain.<\/p>\n The main characters are Dan and Una.<\/p>\n They are brother and sister,<\/p>\n and their role in the books is<\/p>\n to listen to several speeches about Britain\u2019s History,<\/p>\n told in first person by several adult storytellers<\/p>\n who have -somehow- seen the events they report,<\/p>\n since Pagan times to the 19th century.<\/p>\n They live near Pevensey, in Sussex.<\/p>\n <<<<\/p>\n https:\/\/maritimum.wordpress.com\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 2024\/01\/23\/<\/p>\n >>><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" <<< Kipling\u00a0 wrote some fairly long books that are not […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":133135,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13123,31856,5360,22658,17315,27958,29183],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-133129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-b-francis-drake","category-b-maritimum-jmg","category-gc-pevensey","category-r-kipling-puck-of-pooks-hill","category-r-kipling-rewards-and-fairies","category-ra-kipling-rewards-and-fairies-if","category-tnb-gloriana"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grijalvo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grijalvo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grijalvo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grijalvo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grijalvo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133129"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/grijalvo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":155576,"href":"https:\/\/grijalvo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133129\/revisions\/155576"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grijalvo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/133135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grijalvo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grijalvo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grijalvo.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}rudyard-kipling-<\/a><\/h1>\n
