Description

Gerald, Jimmy, and Kathleen meet housekeeper's niece Mabel at a castle, and a magic ring's literal wishes turn play into peril. Nesbit's adventure of friendship, courage, and enchantment that will not stay make-believe. Four children learn what happens when wishes come true.

Author

E. Nesbit (1858–1924) reinvented children's literature by letting magic walk into ordinary English life — leftover tea, railway platforms, and wishes that go wrong in the most practical ways. The Railway Children, the Bastable books, and the Psammead adventures taught young readers that wonder need not be solemn. Nesbit wrote as an adult who still remembered how children actually talk: funny, fierce, and rarely pious.
