Riassunto

Puffin Classics riunisce le migliori storie per bambini per un'intera nuova generazione. In questo sequel di FIVE CHILDREN AND IT, le magiche avventure dei fratelli Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane e del loro fratellino continuano. È abbastanza sorprendente avere una fenice che si schiude in casa tua, ma è ancora più sorprendente quando parla e rivela che hai un tappeto magico sul pavimento. L'uccello vanitoso e antico accompagna i bambini in una serie di avventure attraverso il tempo e lo spazio che, essendo la magia quello che è, raramente si rivelano come dovrebbero... Introdotto dal pluripremiato scrittore fantasy, Robin McKinley.

Informazioni sull?autore

E. Nesbit (Author)
Edith Nesbit was a mischievous child who grew up into an unconventional adult. With her husband, Hubert Bland, she was one of the founder members of the socialist Fabian Society; their household became a centre of the socialist and literary circles of the times. E. Nesbit turned late to children's writing. Her first children's book, The Treasure Seekers, was published in 1899 to great acclaim. Other books featuring the Bastable children followed, and a series of magical fantasy books, including Five Children and It also became very popular. The Railway Children was first published monthly in the London Magazine in 1905, and published as a book in 1906, which has been in print ever since.
