"e;The Phoenix and the Carpet"e; is a 1904 fantasy children's novel by E. Nesbit. The second in a trilogy of novels beginning with "e;Five Children and It"e; (1902), it follows the escapades of the same five children: Anthea, Cyril, Robert, Jane and the "e;Lamb"e;. In this story, the children receive a new carpet from their mother to replace one destroyed in a fire. The children discover an egg inside it, which eventually hatches into a wish-granting phoenix that enables the children to go on many fantastical adventures. Edith Nesbit (1858 - 1924) was an English poet and author. She is perhaps best remembered for her children's literature, publishing more than 60 such 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: "e;The Prophet's Mantle"e; (1885), "e;Something Wrong"e; (1886), and "e;The Marden Mystery"e; (1896). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
