The frontispiece to the first printing of Rudyard Kipling's 1906 fantasy book Puck of Pook's Hill, featuring the legend "They saw a small, brown ... pointy-eared person ... step quietly into the Ring".
The book consists of a number of stories, all narrated to two children living near Burwash, in the area of Kipling's own house Bateman's, by people magically plucked out of history by the elf Puck, or told by Puck himself.
