The prolific author of the Bastables and “Five Children and It” created adventures that still capture the magic of childhood. Essay by Michael Dirda.
"The Enchanted Castle" is a 1907 children's fantasy novel written by Edith Nesbit (1858 - 1924). Set in the West Country in England, the story follows three children-Gerald, James and Kathleen-and their discovery of an enchanted castle during the school holidays. A wonderful example of Nesbit's magical children's literature, "The enchanted castle" would make for perfect bedtime reading and is worthy of inclusion in any family collection. Edith Nesbit (1858 - 1924) was an English poet and author. She is perhaps best remembered for her children's literature, publishing more than 60 such books under the name E. Nesbit. She was also a political activist and co-founded the Fabian Society, which had a significant influence on the Labour Party and British politics in general. Other notable works by this author include: "The Prophet's Mantle" (1885), "Something Wrong" (1886), and "The Marden Mystery" (1896). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
