About the Book

This collection of delightful modern fairy tales dates from 1912, when Edith Nesbit was already well-established as the godmother of children's literature. It contains twelve stories that combine classic fairy-tale elements with modern concepts in a deliciously witty way. And almost every one of the stories is as full of fun and magic for today's children as it was nearly a century ago.In "The Cat-hood of Maurice," a little boy about to be punished for playing a cruel prank on the family cat, Lord Hugh, discovers that Lord Hugh can talk. And Lord Hugh decides to teach Maurice a lesson of his own, by trading places with him for a week. It turns out to be an experience neither of them would ever want to repeat, but it does teach Maurice some lessons about being kind to cats, and his sister too."The Mixed Mine" brings together two boys from opposite sides of the tracks-well-to-do Edward and desperately poor Gustus-when a magic spyglass washes ashore after a shipwreck. The things you look at through the telescope, actually grow larger-or, if you look through the wrong end of the telescope, they shrink. But the real adventure happens when Edward and Gustus set about making their families' fortune by turning a handful of pocket change into a "mixed mine.""Accidental Magic, or Don't Tell All You Know" tells what happens to young Quentin de Ward when he runs away from a Salisbury boys' school and goes to sleep on the stone altar at Stonehenge. Quentin wakes up thousands of years in the past, on a ship bound from Atlantis to deliver an altar stone-and a sacrificial victim..."The Princess and the Hedge-Pig" is the first of several stories in this collection that put a light-hearted modern spin on the classic "prince or princess cursed in the cradle by an evil fairy," also known as "christening curse" for short. The Princess Ozyliza's christening curse is that "She will be turned out of her kingdom. She will have to face her enemies without a single human being to stand by her. And she will never come into her own until she finds a thousand spears to follow her into battle-a thousand spears devoted to her and to her alone." How this comes about is a delightful story, laced with laugh-out-loud details like the surreptitious plans for the christening party, the King and Queen's retiring to Tooting, England, on a pension after being deposed, and the fact that the wicked new King advertises for a French maid in Usurpers Journal."Septimus Septimusson" is about, you guessed it, a seventh son of a seventh son who goes out to seek his fortune. Befriended by the wind and by various animals he aids along his way, young Sep finally finds his fortune in the form of a beautiful princess...but due to another christening curse, she is blind, deaf, and dumb. What can he do? You'll love finding out.In "The White Cat" a little boy has experiences that bring to mind the story by the same name in Andrew Lang's Blue Fairy Book, only in a form suited to the problems of a 1912-era British family going through money troubles."Belinda and Bellamant, or the Bells of Carillon-land," is another adorable story about a prince and a princess who are both under christening curses. His is to be handsome on weekdays but ugly on Sundays; hers is exactly the other way around. How will they find happiness together? Part of the answer has to do with a hysterical personal ad in Royal Match Catalogue Illustrated: "Prince Bellamant, aged twenty-four. Wants Princess who doesn't object to a christening curse. Nature of curse only revealed to the strictest confidence. Good tempered. Comfortably off. Quiet habits. No relations."
