The Phoenix and the Carpet 
By E. Nesbit (1858-1924) 


The Phoenix and the Carpet is a fantasy novel for children, written in 1904 
by E. Nesbit. It is the second in a trilogy of novels that began with Five 
Children and It (1902), and follows the adventures of the same five 
protagonists — Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and the Lamb. Their mother buys 
the children a new carpet to replace the one from the nursery that was 
destroyed in an unfortunate fire accident. Through a series of exciting 
events, the children find an egg in the carpet which cracks into a talking 
Phoenix. The Phoenix explains that the carpet is a magical one that will 
grant them three wishes per day. (Summary from Wikipedia) Total running 
time: 06:37:08.
