The Enchanted Castle by E. Nesbit

3.0

Nesbit is one of the most amazing children’s authors I’ve ever come across. It’s hard for people today to appreciate her for what she is, considering the deluge of children’s works available today. It’s sad that very rarely do you even hear of people knowing who she is. But Nesbit truly was the first to begin writing modern stories for children that weren’t simply a few sentences long – but were complex, imaginative, and sometimes scary. She wrote like an adult speaking to children, in a way that I can say best reminds me of C.S. Lewis in the Chronicles of Narnia. And I don’t think it’s literary blasphemy to state that Nesbit came before Lewis, so I should say Lewis reminds me of Nesbit. At any rate, this is a glowing example of Nesbit’s creative force and her voice is one which I hope will continue to entertain children for a very long time.
