Summary: Probably great for 9-12 yr olds, but not me
Comment: 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 . . . I guess her style just isn't what I like. I think I'd recommend this for a read-aloud to younger children. Nesbit *does* has a wonderfully developed imagination!

Summary: Nesbit: An Author of wonder!
Comment: 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.

Summary: The book that launched a thousand fantasies
Comment: This book launched a whole subgenre--fantasy books in which a group of three to five children (usually mixed gender) cross the boundry between the everyday world into the world of fantasy. It is the inspiration behind CS Lewis's Narnia books, Edward Eager's books, and generations of more recent novels. And it happens to be a wonderful read! My eight-year-old adored it--she's a huge Harry Potter fan (another series in Nesbit's debt) and thought this one was fabulous, though the Victorian language did slow her down a little.
