militsa 's review for:
Five Children & It
by E. Nesbit
Absolutely adorable.
Old Children's stories have such a charm to them and Nesbit is marvelous at telling them. On the first few pages, there is a parenthesis with a small note on how a line should be read out loud and that completely melted my heart. This little note brings out the added care of a grandmother and makes you feel like one of the children and ready to see the wonders the story hides.
I did not read it as a kid but it brought me simplicity and comfort that you tend to forget exist once you grow older.
