The Railway Children (Evergreen Classics)

E. Nesbit

Dover Publications, 2000

Read It!!!
This is not simply a children's book. It is an extremely touching story of three children whose father is suddenly taken away from them and how they cope with the changed circumstances, how they adjust to "play at being poor" as their mother says. It is a book that is ...

The Railway Children (Nesbit)
E. Nesbit

Chronicle Books, 2005

Nearly a hundred years after its original publication, The Railway Children is still one of E. Nesbit's most beloved and delightful stories. Roberta, Peter, and Phyllis were very happy living in a comfortable house surrounded by a cook and servants and two loving parents, until one evening when there was a knock at the door and their father was ...

The Story of the Amulet (Puffin Classics)

E. Nesbit

Puffin, 1996

An excellent book!
This book is one really fun and exciting adventure. E. Nesbit is one of the best children's authors ever. I suggest that anyone interested start with Five Children and It, which is even better. I would recommend this book to anyone!

The Power of Darkness (Wordsworth Mystery & Supernatural) (Wordsworth Mystery & Supernatural)

E. Nesbit

Wordsworth Editions Ltd, 2006

Some good chilling tales...
I was truly impressed with this collection of tales. Nesbit is a gifted storyteller and her tales are subtle, not simple, packing a 'chilling' punch. Again, I was truly impressed. The majority of the tales take place in England and have some elements of Poe, some ...

The Phoenix and the Carpet (Puffin Classics)

E. Nesbit

Puffin, 1996

Puffin classics are LOVE
I love Puffin classics! Complete and unabridged, they bring stories to life for children with lovely covers and readable text, and at $3.99-$5.99 are a great deal! I'm collecting all of them. :-)

The Enchanted Castle (Puffin Classics)

E. Nesbit

Puffin, 1995

This children's classic enchanted me ... Brilliant!
I've always been enraptured by children's books with magic in them, especially when the author writes about ordinary children, weaving magic into the plot with such ease that it's entirely believable. I found this book in a collection of my granddaughter's childhood ...

The Magic World (Puffin Classics)

E. Nesbit

Puffin, 1996

Valuable Stories
This is a great book. I bought it when I was about to go on a trip, and I couldn't read it until I got on the plane. I allowed myself to read one story. The story was "The White Cat". Now, this was a great story, with a great charector. The white cat enchanted me, ...

The Wouldbegoods (Puffin Classics - the Essential Collection)

E. Nesbit

Puffin, 1996

It is the foundation of the pyramid that is my soul!
I wish Oswald were real, I honestly do. He's the greatest, so utterly pompous yet compassionate and humane, so three-dimensional, so all-knowing, yet so childishly naive. The Wouldbegoods is hilarious and quite informative. I learned a great deal about British ...

The Story of the Treasure Seekers (Nesbit)

E. Nesbit

Chronicle Books, 2006

why isn't this book more well-known?
This book, and the two others about the same children (The Would-be-goods and the New Treasure Seekers) are excellent. I read them for the first time as a grown-up, based on the fact that I read that it was a favorite of J K Rowling. And I can see why she likes it so ...

Buy the hardback, makes a good gift
I saw that people on here were moaning about the paperback, so I looked at book books in 'search inside the book' and got the hardback. Glad I did as the recipient really enjoyed it!
