panda_incognito's review against another edition
5.0
I was surprised and somewhat disappointed to realize that this book was not just about the Bastable family. In fact, only the first third of the book chronicles their adventures, and the rest of the book is taken up with various short stories of a fantastical nature. Despite my initial disappointment (though I should have guessed it by the title!), I ended up liking the last two thirds of the book even better than the first part which told stories about the Bastables! They were all cleverly thought out and well written. Many were fairy tales, but all were unique and thought-provoking without being overly moralizing. I would recommend this book to anyone!

The nice thing about E Nesbit is how the length of time between reading one of her books doesn't matter because it always feels like you're coming home.
