A review by sanjastajdohar
Five Children and It by E. Nesbit

4.0

3.5 Well, this was an interesting experience. On the one hand, it was imaginative, fun and different, read superbly and witty on numerous occasions. On the other hand, some things didn't age well (the Indians and Gypsy stories among others). Seems to me a bit too overtly instructive at times. But, all in all, it is a classic for a reason and it was fun following the children's mishaps.
