E. Nesbit 
The Magic World 

“The Magic World” is a 1912 collection of short stories by E. Nesbit. Edith Nesbit (1858 – 1924) was an English poet and author. She is perhaps best remembered for her children’s literature, publishing more than 60 such books under the name E. Nesbit. She was also a political activist and co-founded the Fabian Society, which had a significant influence on the Labour Party and British politics in general. The Stories include: ‘The Cat-hood of Maurice’, The Mixed Mine’, ‘Accidental Magic’, ‘The Princess and the Hedge-pig’, ‘Septimus Septimusson’, ‘The White Cat’, ‘Belinda and Bellamant’, and more. This wonderful collection is perfect bedtime reading material and would make for a wonderful addition to any family collection. Other notable works by this author include: “The Prophet’s Mantle” (1885), “Something Wrong” (1886), and “The Marden Mystery” (1896). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
