'Faeries' by Brian Froud
and Alan Lee
"Puck is, thanks to Shakespeare, the most famous of the mischievous
shape-shifting Hobgoblins (Hobgoblin: a friendly and helpful spirit, occasionally
mischievous). He is closely related to the Welsh Pwca and the Irish Phooka."
'Leprechauns Legends
& Irish Tales' by Hugh McGowan
"The Phooka:
The Bogeyman of Erinian Folklore, a Shape Shifter who usually appears in the shape of a
goat but speaks in a human voice. At other times an invisible presence felt only by a gust
of wind or an eerie howl."
'The Vanishing People'
by Kathrine Briggs
"Puck: a half domestic fairy, something between a Brownie and a Will o' the Wisp.
Shakespeare's Puck gives a good representation of his type. The names Robin Goodfellow,
Robin Hood, and Hobgoblin seem to be indiscriminately applied to this same
character."
