Nesbit, Edith: 5 Children/Psammead Trilogy (Omnibus, Illus.). v1. 13 July 2015
The Saga of the Five Children
( The Psammead Trilogy ) by Edith Nesbit (1858–1924) Illustrated by Harold R. Millar (1869–1940) First published in 1902, 1904, 1906. The text and illustrations of this book are in the public domain in countries where copyright is “Life+70” or less, and in the USA. Edith Nesbit Bland, English author and poet, published approximately 40 books for children under the name of E. Nesbit. She created an innovative body of work that combined realistic, contemporary children in real-world settings with magical objects and adventures. Nesbit gently subverts the Romantic stereotype of children as innocent little angels: her characters can be cranky, conceited, selfish – but also courageous, kind, and generous. When they find themselves in magical realms, they are not dealing with super-powers, or pure Good and pure Evil and the fate of the world, but with unexpected situations, and have to somehow muddle through.
