Nesbit was an English poet and author who published more than 60 children's books under the name E. Nesbit. She was also a political activist and co-founded the Fabian Society, which had a significant influence on the Labour Party and British politics in general. Other notable works by this author include: “The Prophet's Mantle” (1885), “Something Wrong” (1886), and “The Marden Mystery” (1896). Contents include: “The Unfaithful Lover”, “Rounding off a Scene”, “the Obvious”, “The Lie Absolute”, “The Girl with the Guitar”, “The Man with the Boots”, “The Second Best”, “A Holiday”, “The Force of Habit”. “The Brute”. “Dick, Tom and Harry”, “Miss Eden's Baby”. “The Lover, the Girl, and the Onlooker”, “The Duel”, “Cinderella”, “With an E”, “Under the New Moon”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
