Harvey Cheyne es un niño rico de diez años que se aprovecha de su condición en el colegio en el que estudia. Suspendido por tratar de sobornar con dinero a un profesor para que le pusiera un examen mas facil, viaja hacia Londres junto a su padre, mas preocupado de sus negocios que de su hijo.En el barco en el que viajan, Harvey cae accidentalmente al mar y es recogido por el pescador portugues Manuel Fidello, que lo lleva a la goleta Were Here, capitaneada por el viejo lobo de mar Disko Troop. Alli debe pasar los tres siguientes meses hasta que el pesquero regrese a puerto.

From Sea to Sea and Other Sketches, Letters of Travel is a book containing Rudyard Kiplings articles about his 1889 travels from India to Burma, China, Japan, and the United States en route to Englan

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."

Lectura recomendada para segundo ciclo de la E.S.O. Esta cuidada edición fiel al texto original en inglés contiene un Apéndice Literario que completa la lectura de esta novela. Esta novela cuenta sustancialmente la historia de Harvey un malcriado y consentido adolescente norteamericano heredero de una gigantesca fortuna y de como se convierte finalmente en un hombre hecho y derecho. Tras caer por la borda de un lujoso trasatlantico comienza para el una aventura que inicialmente sera muy amarga. Recogido por un barco que se dedica a la pesca del bacalao alli no se admitiran sus remilgos y mimos y durante tres meses tendra que obedecer y trabajar para comer y sobrevivir. Sin embargo de esa lucha dificil no emergera un niño dolorido y traumatizado sino un hombre cabal. Cuando finalmente se reencuentre con su padre Harvey comprendera el mundo de los adultos porque habra entrado en el por derecho propio. No se ha tratado de una experiencia pasajera sino de un jalon decisivo de su vida; de hecho podra decirse que ha aprendido como se debe vivir.

Young Mowgli, the orphan-boy, wanders naked into the lair of a pack of wolves and is brought up by them. He learns the law of the jungle from his animal companions, in particular Baloo the bear, who teaches Mowgli his daily lesson, and Bagheera the black panther, who thinks of the man-cub as his pet. On the day that he kills the evil tiger, Shere Khan, however, he is no longer thought of as the 'little naked cub' but as a young man.
