Edith Nesbit married name Edith Bland 1858-1924 was an English author and poet whose childrens works were published under the androgynous name of E. Nesbit. She wrote or collaborated on over 60 books of fiction for children, several of which have been adapted for film and television. She started a new genre of magical adventures arising from everyday settings and has been much imitated. She was also a political activist and co-founded the Fabian Society, a precursor to the modern Labour Party. Nesbits books for children are known for being entertaining without turning didactic, although some of her earlier works, notably Five Children and It 1902 and even more so The Story of the Amulet 1906 , veer in that direction. Among Nesbits best-known books are The Story of the Treasure Seekers 1898 , The Wouldbegoods 1899 and The Railway Children 1906 . Other works include The Phoenix and the Carpet 1904 , The Enchanted Castle 1907 and The Magic City 1910 .
