Edith Nesbit (1858-1924) was an English writer who published under the name E. Nesbit. A prolific and successful writer of several genres, Nesbit is most remembered as one of the first modern authors of children's literature; she is credited with addressing real-world issues in her writings, helping to move children's literature beyond the realms of fantasy and folklore. In addition to several very successful children's works, Nesbit wrote horror stories and is well-known for her support for Socialism. She and her husband were among the founders of the Fabian Society in 1884.
