Edith Nesbit

E Nesbit: Queen of Children's Literature

More than a century before the appearance of Harry Potter, E Nesbit wrote of magic, fantasy and childhood adventure in a way that would change children's literature forever.

Nesbit's realistic characters and everyday settings have maintained their fascination for young readers, while early and specialty editions of the author's works have garnered the attention of collectors.
