Five Children and It de Edith Nesbit

Five Children and It

Autor Edith Nesbit
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 dec 1993
Its eyes were on long horns like a snail's eyes… it had ears like a bat's ears, and its tubby body was shaped like a spider's and covered with thick, soft fur… and it had hands and feet like a monkey's.
‘It’ was the Psammead, the grumpy sand-fairy that could, if in the mood, grant a wish a day. When the five children befriend him they find that each wish granted often has a sting in its tail. Golden guineas are too difficult to spend, wings let them down in a most inconvenient way, and when they wish for Red Indians, the children forget that they can sometimes be a little warlike.
Generations of children have come to love the fantasy and the whimsy of the stories in the classic book from the author of The Railway Children.

Notă biografică

Edith Nesbit (1858-1924) was a British author and poet best known for her children's literature, including The Railway Children, Five Children and It and The Phoenix and the Carpet. Nesbit was born in London and spent much of her childhood moving between different parts of the country due to her father's work as an agricultural chemist. Nesbit began her writing career as a poet and was associated with the Symbolist movement. She later turned her attention to children's literature, drawing inspiration from her own experiences as a mother and her interest in the supernatural and magical worlds. Nesbit's writing was known for its humour, wit and imaginative storytelling, and she was one of the first authors to introduce a contemporary and realistic setting to children's literature. In addition to her writing, Nesbit was also an active member of the Fabian Society, a socialist organization that advocated for social and political change in Britain. Her political views were reflected in her writing, which often included themes of social justice and equality. Nesbit's works have been praised for their enduring appeal and their ability to engage and entertain readers of all ages. Her stories have been adapted into numerous films, television series and stage productions, and her influence on children's literature can be seen in the works of many contemporary authors. Nesbit's legacy as a pioneering and influential writer has continued to be celebrated and appreciated by readers around the world.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
When Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and their baby brother start exploring a gravel pit not far from their new countryside home, they make an unexpected and very curious discovery. The gravel pit is home to a Psammead, a sand fairy. This ugly creature has eyes like a snail, ears like a bat and the body of a spider, and is very grumpy indeed. He grants the children one wish every day, and though they are excited to have all their desires fulfilled, they soon realize that having one's wishes come true can have unexpected consequences.
E. Nesbit's much loved children's tale has enchanted generations of readers, and has been adapted for the screen numerous times - most notably by the BBC in a hugely popular 1990s series. It remains one of the most cherished children's classics ever written, and an indispensable part of every young reader's library.

Recenzii

I love E. Nesbit - I think she is great and I identify with the way that she writes. Her children are very real children and she was quite a groundbreaker in her day.
