THE ENCHANTED CASTLE By E. NESBIT The story takes place in England near the beginning of the twentieth century. The Enchanted Castle is not your average fairytale. In fact, it was the first of it's kind. The action is fast-paced and imaginative, ranging from comic to terrifying, from adventurous to mystical. The Enchanted Castle is beautiful and intricate, with a compelling narrative, appealing characters, and a masterful blend of magic and realism.

To avoid boredom they go exploring and come upon what appears to be an enchanted castle... ILLUSTRATIONS BY H. R. MILLAR
