Robin Goodfellow, or “Puck” Shakespeare did not create the character of Puck. He is a well- known character in many earlier works about magic. In some cases, he is an evil goblin; in others, he is merely mischievous. His name comes from fire spirits who purposely mislead travelers for amusement: “We call them pucks.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m 0gHTNJVFtA Mendelssohn’s overture to A Midsummer Night’s Dream
