This book is one of my absolute favourites! I've reread it multiple times over the years and each time I am as fascinated as the first.
Puck of Pook's Hill is a series of short stories that are set in different periods of English history. They are narrated to two siblings, Dan and Una, by either Puck, an elf, or a guest that he magically plucks out of history.
So this book literally combines two things that I love: history and fantasy, and does it in a very beautiful way.
If you are interested in the history of England and love fantasy, I highly recommend Puck of Pook's Hill.
There is also a sequel called Rewards and Fairies that is also amazing.
[Note: I read this book in Russian (that particular edition was translated by Grigory Kruzhkov)].
