Description
Margaret Ostler receives the dedication of The Enchanted Castle, dated September 1907 from Soho. In verse, E Nesbit thanks Peggy for bringing the airs of heath and moor through her door. Chapter one names the three children. Gerald is called Jerry. James is called Jimmy. Kathleen is Cathy, or Puss Cat, to her brothers.
The three board at schools in a small western town, boys apart from girls. Holidays lead them to a great house with a magic ring and stone beasts that stir. Nesbit blends plain child talk with true wonder.
