'Endlessly surprising and inventive' FRANK COTTRELL-BOYCE
'My all-time favourite classic children's author' JACQUELINE WILSON
'She speaks to the reader, and it's almost as though you can hear her voice' QUENTIN BLAKE

Some titles you will already know; some will be new to you, but there are stories for everyone to love, whatever your age.

Nesbit (The Psammead Trilogy, The Bastable Trilogy, The Railway Children), L. M. Montgomery (The Anne of Green Gables series) and Susan Coolidge (The What Katy Did Trilogy).

關於作者
Edith Nesbit (1858-1924) is perhaps most famous for writing The Railway Children and Five Children and It, but she was extremely prolific and wrote or collaborated on more than sixty children's books. Nesbit is today recognised as one of the most influential and innovative children's writers that ever lived, and is cited as an inspiration by many contemporary authors, including J. K. Rowling, Neil Gaiman, Jacqueline Wilson, Kate Saunders and Frank Cottrell-Boyce. Even C. S. Lewis acknowledged the debt his Narnia series owed to her work-particularly the Bastable and Psammead trilogies.
