Considered by Time Magazine to be one of the best fantasy books of all time, Edith Nesbit’s Five Children and It follows a tribe of children on their magical adventures during a summer in the English countryside. When a strange, furry creature appears in front of the children and offers a wish a day, the children take advantage of the creature’s abilities and discover that their wishes have many unforeseen—and often quite funny—consequences. As the children learn valuable lessons about thinking ahead and responsibility, the story of their summer with It has remained a timeless classic and stayed with readers and listeners for generations.
Sobre o autor
Edith Nesbit (1858-1924) was an English author and poet who wrote or collaborated on more than sixty books of children’s literature. Called the first modern writer for children, she wrote in a style that combined realistic contemporary children in real-world settings with magical objects and included adventures and sometimes travel to imaginary worlds. In so doing, she influenced many subsequent writers, including P. L. Travers, C. S. Lewis, and J. K. Rowling.
