E. Nesbit - The Wonderful Garden or The Three C's

The Wonderful Garden or The Three C's

by E. Nesbit (1858—1924)

Do you believe in magic? Caroline, Charles and Charlotte do, and nothing that happens
during their summer holiday at their great uncle's house does anything to diminish that
belief. There the Three C.'s find a wonderful garden and some very old books, resulting in
escapades which do not necessarily please the grown-ups.

E. Nesbit, as usual, transports us back to the hazy summer days of a well-to-do Edwardian
childhood, liberally spiced with magic, humour and lessons learned.

Published exactly 100 years ago, this is one of her least-known children's books, out of
print for many years, and with no text available online at the time of recording. Yes, it's
dated. Yes, it's politically incorrect. But it is delightful nonetheless. As Gore Vidal once
wrote: "...though a reading of E. Nesbit is hardly going to change the pattern of a nation,
there is some evidence that the child who reads her will never be quite the same again, and
that is probably a good thing."
