The Magic World by E. Nesbit
"The Magic World" by E. Nesbit is a collection of twelve short stories published in 1912. These clever fantasy tales transport children into magical realms where boys transform into cats and fish, princesses face fairy curses, and wardrobes open into enchanted worlds. With talking animals, ancient talismans, and trips to Atlantis, each story blends wonder with Nesbit's characteristic wit and irony. The collection explores themes of transformation, justice, and kindness to animals
while delivering adventures that would later influence writers like C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
