Nesbit also wrote for adults, including eleven novels, short stories, and four collections of horror stories. BOOK RESUME: The Phoenix and the Carpet is a fantasy novel for children, written by E. Nesbit and first published in 1904. It is the second in a trilogy of novels that begins with Five Children and It (1902), and follows the adventures of the same five children: Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and the Lamb. Their mother buys the children a new carpet to replace one from the nursery that they have destroyed in an accidental fire. The children find an egg in the carpet, which hatches into a talking Phoenix. The Phoenix explains that the carpet is a magic one that will grant them three wishes a day. The five children go on many adventures, which eventually wear out their magic carpet. The adventures are continued and concluded in the third book of the trilogy, The Story of the Amulet (1906).

Towards the end of her life, Nesbit moved first to Crowlink. Nesbit died in 1924, probably from lung cancer (she "smoked incessantly"),and was buried in the churchyard ofSt Mary in the Marsh. Nesbits biographer, Julia Briggs, names her "the first modern writer for children", who "helped to reverse the great tradition of childrens literature inaugurated byLewis Carroll,George MacDonaldandKenneth Grahame, in turning away from theirsecondary worldsto the tough truths to be won from encounters with things-as-they-are, previously the province of adult novels". Briggs also credits Nesbit with inventing the childrensadventure story. The creator of modernchildrens fantasy, she influenced many later writers, includingP. L. Travers(ofMary Poppins),J. K. Rowling and C. S. Lewiswho paid heed to her in theNarniaseriesand mentions the Bastable children inThe Magicians Nephew.

BOOK RESUME: The enchanted castle is a country estate in the West Country seen through the eyes of three children, Jerry, Jimmy, and Kathy, who discover it while exploring during the school holidays. The lake, groves and marble statues, with white towers and turrets in the distance, make a fairy-tale setting, and then in the middle of the maze in the rose garden, they find a sleeping fairy-tale princess. The 'princess' tells them that the castle is full of magic, and they almost believe her. She shows them the treasures of the castle, including a magic ring she says is a ring of invisibility, but when it actually turns her invisible she panics and admits that she is the housekeepers niece, Mabel, and was just play-acting. The children soon find that the ring has other magical powers such as making the 'Ugly-Wugglies' (Guy Fawkes style dummies they had made to swell the audience at one of their play-performances) come to life. They eventually discover that the ring is actually granting their own wishes, and that the disturbing results stem from their failure to specify those wishes precisely. The Enchanted Castle was written for both children and adults. It combines descriptions of the imaginative play of children, reminiscent of The Story of the Treasure Seekers, with a magic more muted than in her major fantasies such as The Story of the Amulet.
