Description
And entrancing combination of magical fantasy with real-life complications. Gerald, Cathy and Jimmy wake a beautiful princess from her hundred year sleep in an enchanted garden. It's really only Mabel, the housekeeper's niece - but the garden really is enchanted, and the ring she slips on really is magic! The children find themselves in some funny, some awkward, some frightening and some absolutely magical situations before everything gets sorted out.
Author Biography
E. Nesbit (1858 - 1924) wrote some of the best-loved children's books of the turn-of-the-century, including The Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet, and The Railway Children. Edith Nesbit was friends with many of the great literary figures of her day, including George Bernard Shaw, William Morris, and Laurence Housman. H. G. Wells once wrote to her that 'every self-respecting family will buy your books - and I knock my forehead on the ground at your feet in the vigour of my admiration of your easy artistry.'
