Edith Nesbit (1858–1924) — a well-known British writer, prose author and poet, the author of many novels, some of which have been adapted for film. Here is one of her most popular fantasy novellas.
This book continues the story begun in “Five Children and It” and developed in “The Phoenix and the Carpet.” This time, the children receive from a sand fairy half of an amulet, with the help of which they can travel through time. Their journey takes them to ancient Babylon and Egypt, to the Phoenician Tyre, and even to the legendary Atlantis. Of course, such travels come with unexpected events, dangers, and real trials. How this story ends—and whether the boys and girls manage to find the second half of the amulet—you will discover in the book.
