E. Nesbit (Author)
Edith Nesbit was a mischievous child who grew up into an
unconventional adult. With her husband, Hubert Bland, she was one
of the founder members of the socialist Fabian Society; their
household became a centre of the socialist and literary circles of
the times. E. Nesbit turned late to children's writing. Her first
children's book, The Treasure Seekers, was published in 1899 to
great acclaim. Other books featuring the Bastable children
followed, and a series of magical fantasy books, including Five
Children and It also became very popular. The Railway Children was
first published monthly in the London Magazine in 1905, and
published as a book in 1906, which has been in print ever since.

new. Enjoy some of the best books from the past and find out why
and how they inspired some of the best writers of the present
