description: Classic stories by much-loved children's author E. Nesbit. This great-value book contains seven full-length, unabridged novels. Set in a 1900s England of steam-trains and magic, generations of children have thrilled to these exciting adventures. When the children in these stories aren't preventing a train crash, you'll find them getting wishes from the sandy Psammead, flying on a magic carpet, travelling through time with an enchanted Egyptian amulet, hatching the egg of the mythical phoenix, or using their magical ring to explore an enchanted castle! The brothers and sisters created by E. Nesbit have the convincing feeling of being a real family - they're usually disagreeing with each other, but they're always cheerful about it. They try to be good but are always in trouble of one kind or another. With a subtle ethical message underlying their exciting plots, these novels have been listed among the best works of children's literature for many years. This '7 books in 1' edition is an ideal gift for any child who loves reading, or any adult who wants to bring some magic into their life!
