Edith Nesbit 
Phoenix and the Magic Carpet 

Phoenix and the Magic Carpet were about the new carpet for the children“s room, and the children didn“t expect that a strange egg rolled in the carpet would hatch a phoenix. The Phoenix told them that the carpet was not a common ground blanket, but a magic carpet that can satisfy human desires and can fly.However, if anyone thinks that these two rare treasures will bring great things to the children, he will be wrong.I wonder if there are problems with the wishes of the children, or the problems with the magic carpet. The result of each wish is always unexpected and strange.The clever but conceited Phoenix has also made the children suffer a lot. In this work, Edith Nesbit tried depicting such a reality, and what would be the change if we moved the objects of the unrealistic world to our real world?The real meaning of this work is that the monster that appeared in the reality itself, away from a little pride, its horror seems to be totally submerged in the sand.It is because of Edith Nesbit“s Phoenix and the Magic Carpet that we have today“s magic children“s literature.
