A plot summary makes this story sound ordinary by children's literature standards: the summer adventures of four children who discover an enchanted castle and a magic ring. But Edith Nesbit's adored classic (written in 1907) is so much more than the description suggests. Right from the start, the author plays with the idea of magic, teasing us with a sleeping princess who turns out to be a fake. Elsewhere, the magic is "real" as can be--in fact, though written nearly 100 years ago, The Enchanted Castle prefigures the magical realism of modern novels in the matter-of-fact way it weaves the uncanny into the children's everyday life. And, while few authors are confident enough to parody bad writing, Nesbit does it hilariously (and ever so gently) through one character's tendency to "talk like a book": "'To brush his hair and his clothes... was to our hero but the work of a moment,' said Gerald." Things turn scary when the Ugly Wuglies, fake people made from painted cardboard masks, old clothes, and broomsticks, come to life. But on the whole this book about enchantment--much praised by such luminaries as H.G. Wells and Noel Coward--is, simply, enchanting. (Ages 6 and older) --Richard Farr

Format:Taschenbuch
This book may be labelled as a classic, but that doesn't make it less outstandingly boring and predictable. Dull story with insipid characters and overused clichés. Think Mary Poppins meets Secret Garden-gone horribly wrong.There's about as much enchantment there as there is in watching paint dry.Clearly a most over-rated so called classic. It is a classic in terms of being written a long time ago and in terms of being uninspiring and really bad. Won't ever read another book by Edith Nesbit.

This book was the first book I had ever read by Edith Nesbit, and I thought it was such a wonderful style that she had. The little things that were so right on for me about the silly things kids do. (I shouldn't talk, I am a kid) I don't necessarily read her books for the subject matter, I read them for the way she writes them. This is one of five of the other books I've read by her, and I plan to get more at the library.

The reason I only gave this book 4 stars is because of out of the 5 Edith Nesbit Books I have read so far...this is my least favourite. I think it is beacuase of how it is written. It, to me, was lacking something all the other books she wrote have. I also did not particularly enjoy the beginning of the book, as it started out dull etc. But as it went on...I fell in love with the four children. One thing that is very evident in this book is the thing of good magic. Evrything thing seems to be filled with it, therefore making the story all the better and all more exciting. I loved how it showed each of there adventures, and each of there luck with the magic ring. I also got a few laughs out of the children's injinuity. This is truly a classic, but not my favourite Nesbit book. It certainly is worth getting though.

Probably great for 9-12 yr olds, but not me
I read this as a homeschooled 13 yr old. For me, the reading level was extremely easy--but the story was neat. Nesbit has some cool ideas, but . . . Lesen Sie weiter...

Magic in its most enriching, uplifting form
Possibly one of the greatest "for children of all ages" books of all time - Nesbit practically invented the genre and in this book she achieved her greatest heights. Lesen Sie weiter...
