E. Nesbit (1858–1924) wrote some of the best-loved children's books of the turn of the century, including Five Children and It (1901), and The Phoenix and the Carpet (1904). Her stories in which ordinary children encounter magical adventures in the everyday world gave new life to the the field of children’s fantasy.
Mary Sebag-Montefiore has done a beautiful job, and opens up this
lovely story for younger readers or those who aren't very
confident. The lively clear reading (on the CD)adds to the
pleasure.
