Description

|
It's startling enough to have a phoenix hatch in your house, but even more so when it reveals you have a magic carpet on the floor. Conceited it may be, but the phoenix is also good-hearted, and obligingly accompanies the children on their adventures through time and space—which, magic being what it is, rarely turn out as intended in this 1904 story, the sequel to Five Children and It. Raised in Victorian England, tomboyish, freethinking Edith Nesbit was far ahead of her time, and is still renowned today for her talent of blending real-life situations with elements of magical fantasy and more than a pinch of humor; the creators of Mary Poppins, Harry Potter, and the land of Narnia all consider her a source of their inspiration. For readers 8 to 12 and younger listeners, this fine edition includes a new introduction, laminated covers, and the original ink illustrations.
