Auerdem schrieb er Gedichte und eine Vielzahl von Kurzgeschichten. Kipling gilt als wesentlicher Vertreter der Kurzgeschichte und als hervorragender Erzahler. Seine Kinderbucher gehoren zu den Klassikern des Genres. 1907 erhielt er als damals jungster und erster englischer Schriftsteller den Literaturnobelpreis.

Two children, Dan and Una, acting out their version of "A Midsummer Night's Dream", miraculously conjure up Puck himself. Small and as old as time itself, he brings back the past for them to witness. He re-creates a Roman centurion, a Renaissance craftsman and the villages of time gone by.

An Almanac of Twelve Sports is first published in late 1897, the included calendar was for 1898 and subsequent editions had a calendar appropriate for the year following publication. Only the month is printed on the same page as the picture. Each months verse is printed on the reverse of the picture of the preceding month, so that it is opposite its own picture when the book is open.

The stories are all narrated to two children living near Burwash, in the area of Kiplings own house Batemans, by people magically plucked out of history by the elf Puck, or told by Puck himself. (Puck, who refers to himself as "the oldest Old Thing in England", is better known as a character in William Shakespeares play A Midsummer Nights Dream.) The genres of particular stories range from authentic historical novella (A Centurion of the Thirtieth, On the Great Wall) to childrens fantasy (Dymchurch Flit). Each story is bracketed by a poem which relates in some manner to the theme or subject of the story.Donald Mackenzie, who wrote the introduction for the Oxford Worlds Classics edition of Puck of Pooks Hill in 1987, has described this book as an example of archaeological imagination that, in fragments, delivers a look at the history of England, climaxing with the signing of Magna Carta.Puck calmly concludes the series of stories: "Weland gave the Sword, The Sword gave the Treasure, and the Treasure gave the Law. Its as natural as an oak growing."

Siempre se ha dicho que, a partir de los cuarenta, el hombre es responsable de su cara. Kipling viene a añadir aquí que también lo es de su biografía. Recordando su aprendizaje de periodista, el autor escribio: Mi jefe me tomo por su cuenta, y durante tres años lo odie. Tenia que domarme, y yo no sabia nada. Ignoro lo que sufrio por causa mia; pero la poca o mucha escrupulosidad que haya llegado a adquirir en mi vida, el habito de procurar siquiera verificar las referencias y cierta maña para no moverme de la mesa de trabajo, se los debo enteramente. Sin duda el lector ha reconocido en estas lineas un resumen de Capitanes intrepidos, una excelente novela de aprendizaje.
