The Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet, The Story of the Amulet

All three of E. Nesbit's delightful fantasies about the "Five Children" in one set. In each, five children (Robert, Anthea, Jane, Cyril, and "the baby") stumble on something magical. You will read about what happens when the Five Children discover an amulet in the form of a horseshoe that grows until it becomes a gateway through which the children can enter the past and future, and the unintended effect their new-found magic ring has on the maid! Here is a long-recognized classic that mixes fantasy and humour. Nesbit's world will enthrall and enchant and delight you all at once.
