Classics for Your Collection:goo.gl/U80LCr---------In the second book (all the books are stand-alone) in the trilogy, Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane, and their baby brother buy an enchanted wishing carpet! Cyril (also known as Squirrel), Anthea (known as Panther), Robert (Bobs), Jane (Pussy), and their brother (the Lamb) accidentally hatch a Phoenix egg in the fire which Bobs finds in the carpet! The five children are overjoyed, but, as it is with magic, rarely everything goes as planned...When the children wish for milk for the 199 Persian cats they had due to the wishing carpet, the carpet brings back a cow(!), and Pussy convinces a burglar to milk it for them. When the Lamb wishes himself away to an unknown place on the wishing carpet, his four elder siblings are relieved to find he'd wished himself to their mother, and when the children's cook gets on their nerves, they wish her away to a desert island where their cook is crowned queen, and the Lamb is cured of his cough!Although nothing ever goes to plan, the clever children always manage to sort it out, though they would never have made it out of a few scrapes if it had not have been for the Phoenix. Vain and conceited, the Phoenix thinks itself higher and grander than anyone, but is honest and kind, and is a good friend to all children, especially Robert, who hatched his egg.This is a story full of magic, quests and good deeds; one that everybody should read at least once in their lifetime. The author, E. Nesbit, is mesmerizing as always with her enchanting writing style that suits both children and adult.Scroll Up and Get Your Copy!

Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- A very short book about famous (and not famous)people and experiences they had. This book was written for children, but adults too would like it. PREFATORY NOTE One of the best things to be said of the stories in this volume is that, although they are not biographical, they are about real persons who actually lived and performed their parts in the great drama of the world's history. Some of these persons were more famous than others, yet all have left enduring "footprints on the sands of time" and their names will not cease to be remembered. In each of the stories there is a basis of truth and an ethical lesson which cannot fail to have a wholesome influence; and each possesses elements of interest which, it is believed, will go far towards proving the fallibility of the doctrine that children find delight only in tales of the imaginative and unreal. The fact that there are a few more than fifty famous people mentioned in the volume may be credited to the author's wish to give good measure. Scroll Up and Get Your Copy!

Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- The story concerns three children, two brothers (Gerald and Jimmy), and their sister, Cathy. They are on holiday, away from their parents (don't all the best adventures happen on these types of occasions?), and staying in Cathy's boarding school under the supervision of the French schoolmistress, who sits around looking wistful. To break the monotony of the boarding house, they decide to explore the local countryside and get hopelessly lost. They come across a hole in a hedge which leads to an underground passage, which itself leads them into a beautiful garden with an ornate castle at its centre. The garden is seemingly deserted, and the feeling of magic grows as they come to the entrance of a maze. Following a scarlet thread, which brings them to the maze's epicentre, they discover a sleeping princess, who Jimmy wakes up with a smacker on her cheek. After providing a feast for them in the castle (bread and cheese) the princess turns out not to be a princess after all, but a girl named Mabel. Nonetheless, she does possess a magic ring... 'The Enchanted Castle' is a very episodic, with the children having different adventures in each chapter. What joins the chapters together to a unified whole is the enchanted ring. Through its powers, they can become invisible and make wishes. They help the local policeman catch a burglar, make the statues in the garden come alive, and help the French schoolteacher find her long lost love. The wishes they make also quite naturally get them into all sorts of scrapes, including getting the ring stuck on their finger, growing too tall in 'Alice in Wonderland' style, and making inanimate objects come alive into 'Uglie-Wuglies', more terrifying than it sounds. Throughout all this, Nesbit writes in her typically relaxed, natural style, and her characters, while not well-rounded, talk and act like real children. It is this inherent realism that makes the magical elements seem so real. The Enchanted Castle was written for both children and adults. Facts and Trivia: The Enchanted Castle was adapted into a TV-miniseries by the BBC in 1979. It has not been released on DVD or VHS in the UK, however, a DVD was released in Australia on 03/07/2013.

Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- We have always loved stories. people have always entertained each other by telling tales around the campfire; traveling storytellers were huge crowd-pullers. Many of these stories were passed down through the generations, largely unchanged. "The stories made by the people, and told before evening fires, or in public places and at the gates of inns in the Orient, belong to the ages when books were few and knowledge limited, or to people whose fancy was not hampered by familiarity with or care for facts; they are the creations, as they were the amusement, of men and women who were children in knowledge, but were thinking deeply and often wisely of what life meant to them, and were eager to know and hear more about themselves, their fellows, and the world. In the earlier folk-stories, one finds a childlike simplicity and readiness to believe in the marvellous, and these qualities are found also in the French peasant's version of the career of Napoleon.

No one can understand the modern world without the aid of the imagination, and as the frontiers of knowledge are pushed still further away from the obvious and familiar, there will be an increasing tax on the imagination.” A great read, full of stories that every child should know.

The Tale of Peter RabbitClassic Books for ChildrenBy Beatrix PotterThe story focuses on a family of anthropomorphic rabbits, the widowed mother rabbit cautioning her young against entering a vegetable garden grown by a man named Mr. McGregor, telling them: "your Father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor". Whereas her three daughters obediently refrain from entering the garden, going down the lane to pick blackberries, her rebellious son Peter enters the garden to snack on some vegetables. Peter ends up eating more than is good for him and goes looking for parsley to cure his stomach ache. However, Peter is spotted by Mr. McGregor and loses his jacket and shoes while trying to escape. He hides in a watering can in a shed, but then has to run away again when Mr. McGregor finds him, and ends up completely lost. After sneaking past a cat, Peter sees the gate where he entered the garden from a distance and heads for it, despite being spotted and chased by Mr. McGregor again. He finds difficulties in wriggling beneath the gate, but manages to escape the garden, only to spot his abandoned clothing articles being used to dress Mr. McGregor's scarecrow. After returning home, a sick Peter is sent to bed by his mother whereas his well-behaved sisters receive a sumptuous dinner of milk and berries as opposed to Peter's supper of chamomile tea.

Classics for Your Collection:goo.gl/U80LCr---------Tales for Children, From IndiaThese Indian tales which were collected from Asia in the early 20th century are very different from the Grimm's and Aesops tales you may have been familiar with. The folklore of India compasses the folklore of the nation of India and the Indian subcontinent. The subcontinent of India contains a wide diversity of ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups.Since it is different from other fairy tales, one may need to shift and adjust the perception and look at these from a different angle. This, of course, is a very good pursuit for your child early on, in the quality of adjusting oneself to different cultures and understanding different perceptions or points of view.What sets this classic book apart from the rest is the Notes and References you have at the end of the book. Here the author has done extensive research on these stories and has traced how the various stories popular in the western world have their roots in the Indian folklore.Every story has an explanation and commentary really giving the reader an understanding of its significance. It is a very well researched collection and a good read for fairytale enthusiasts.A cross-pollination between Indian and Western fairy tales. Some stories, among the 29, are worth revisiting, as they are entertaining, enlightening and engaging. A good mix of fables with animals and human characters. The stories are rich with talking animals and insects that casually interact with humans, which the author explains (again in the Appendix, so you may want to read that first) fits easily with Hindu and Buddhist ideas of reincarnation. Trivia:Fairy tales are found in oral and in literary form; the name "fairy tale" was first ascribed to them by Madame d'Aulnoy in the late 17th century. Many of today's fairy tales have evolved from centuries-old stories that have appeared, with variations, in multiple cultures around the worldBook ChaptersPreface1I. The Lion and the Crane4II.

The stories collected in this volume have been selected from many sources, because in the judgment of the editor, they are sound pieces of writing, wholesome in tone, varied in interest and style, and interesting.
