Yes,..... I actually typed up part of this some time ago, but I don't know if it's still on here - may have been before the wee terrorist got in here and hacked about.

Will look - but I have still got the Nesbit with it in!

Thanks for the thoughts and information, everyone! I checked online, and found that another library linked to mine has The Treasure Seekers, so I'm looking forward to reading that.

I just discovered Nesbit's writings myself and I love them. Ive recently finished The Enchanted Castle and The Five Children trilogy (or should I call it the Psamead trilogy?)

Lewis makes this comment about E. Nesbit's books in the first chapter of Surprised by Joy:

"Much better than either of these was E. Nesbit's trilogy, The Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Wishing Carpet, and The Amulet. The last did the most for me. It first opened my eyes to antiquity, the 'dark backward and abysm of time'. I can still reread it with delight"

I do look forward to reading the Bastables and anything else by her that I find

I didn't find my post, but I did find a link to the online text that Sven had found a year ago.

You can read nearly all of E. Nesbit's books online at Project Gutenberg. (You can even save the file and read it offline, or print out a copy for yourself, but you didn't hear it from me.)
