This was an extremely enjoyable nostalgia read. Nesbit uses an unusual narrative voice which occasionally breaks the fourth wall and I found that interesting to read as an adult. I don't know how old I was when I last read it but I vividly remembered the characters and all of their little adventures. I definitely want to re-watch the film now as well.
