Edith Nesbit, commonly known as E. Nesbit, was an English author and poet, celebrated for her children's literature. She co-founded the Fabian Society, a socialist organization, and her progressive beliefs often found expression in her stories. Her most popular works, including "The Railway Children" and "Five Children and It," continue to delight young readers with their imaginative and adventurous themes, making her one of the pioneers of modern children's literature.
E. Nesbit
E. Nesbit (1858–1924) began writing for young adults after a successful career in magazines. Using her own unconventional childhood as a jumping-off point, she published novels that combined reality, fantasy, and humor. Expanded from a series of articles in the Strand Magazine, Five Children and It was published as a novel in 1902 and is the first in a trilogy that includes The Phoenix and the Carpet and The Story of the Amulet. Together with her husband, Nesbit was a founding member of the socialist Fabian Society, and her home became a hub for some of the greatest authors and thinkers of the time, including George Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells.
