Puck, also known as Robin Goodfellow, is one of the most mischievous and enchanting figures in English folklore. A trickster spirit and servant of Oberon, King of the Fairies, Puck is immortalised in William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night’s Dream as the playful mischief-maker whose antics set the stage for love, chaos, and laughter.
But Puck’s story stretches far beyond the theatre. From his roots in ancient pagan traditions to his evolution as a household sprite, Puck embodies the wild, untamed forces of nature and the clever, cunning wit of folklore’s most beloved tricksters. Known for leading travellers astray, playing pranks, and even helping those in need, his legacy is as complex as it is magical.
Join us as we delve into the tales of Puck, exploring his origins, his place in literary history, and his role as the archetype of the whimsical and wild spirit of the forest.
