gardgoldsmith: Edith Nesbit's The Pavilion - a no-spoilers review!!

DavidCranmerUn1: Margaret Mitchell - Wikipedia Mitchell's two favorite children's books were by author Edith Nesbit: Five Children and It (1902) and The Phoenix and the Carpet (1904).

DavidCranmerUn1: Edith Nesbit (married name Edith Bland; 15 August 1858 – 4 May 1924) was also a political activist and co-founder of the Fabian Society, a socialist organisation later affiliated to the Labour Party.

AndrewSimpson41: Andrew Simpson: Recreating the lost Well Hall House with Edith Nesbit:

ItsAshPryce: It's World Book Day, so may I suggest a lesser-known collection of short Ghost Stories? Most will know Edith Nesbit as the author of "The Railway Children", and "Five Children and It". 1/3

vaneharriet: this is what I grew up picturing whenever I’d read “forest” (—I mean, it *is* forest! just usually not the sort being referenced e.g. in my Edith Nesbit novels, lol)

SleyHouse: If you enjoy our adaptation of Edith Nesbit’s FROM THE DEAD, please consider subscribing to our Acast or Patreon.

SolomonWakeling: Edith Nesbit uses the word “Slut” in the Five Children and It series (I forget which one). At the time it meant a lazy person and she uses it to describe a servant. I am not sure in what sense Roald Dahl used it, I don’t think I ever read that book.

soapypeanutsoup: Check it out!! Listen in on my audio drama debut in this adaptation of Edith Nesbit's classic story "From the Dead".

pittparents: “Among others are Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, Edith Nesbit’s The Railway Children and C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Last year the university put a trigger warning on Beowulf..”

james_blue_cat: Don't read Edith Nesbit at a formative age, kids, it'll mess you up (it's stuff like that, isn't it?)

HowtheWoodMoves: You know what else still stands up? Edith Nesbit's The Railway Children. Absolute piece of genius. The classic "adults away, kid have adventures" book.

petrifiedegg: Ofc the changes to Dahl’s books are bad & an indictment of our dumb age. But some old children’s lit is truly effed up & OK to revise—I’d 100% understand (non-academic) publishers wanting to omit the part in Edith Nesbit where the Jews of the London stock exchange are slaughtered

RomGothSam: 4) 1905 - The Shadow - Edith Nesbitt One of my all time favourite stories but what's interesting 'haunting' wise is that the house that is 'haunted' is completely new... Also, the haunting isn't a simple ghost.

yorkshirepost: The Railway Children, director Lionel Jeffries’ 1970 adaptation of Edith Nesbit’s 1906 novel, captured the hearts of so many who saw it when release and ever since

dappled_days: The gardens at Cedar Court looked lovelier than ever. The morning sunlight glittered on the wet leaves, and against a blue sky trimmed with rolling white clouds the trees stood up in their green-rounded perfection. ~The Lark by Edith Nesbit, 1922

dappled_days: “One of the saddest things in this machine-made century,” he added, “is the neglect, the decay, the corruption of the English language.” ~The Lark by Edith Nesbit, 1922

dappled_days: Even the most charming girls do not know everything. There was a girl once who cut up a fine hand-woven linen sheet to line a dress with and thought she was being economical, but that is another, and a sadder, story. ~The Lark by Edith Nesbit, 1922

SolomonWakeling: Having read Edith Nesbit’s “The Railway Children” this year I am not convinced there’s enough material there for a sequel. It’s a nice story but self-contained. I haven’t seen the 1970 film. I have a certain morbid curiosity about “The railway children return”.

dappled_days: How still the wood was; how dark in its shadows; how greenly silver where the moonbeams touched it! Peace wrapped him like a cloak; perhaps love ought to be like that – quiet, unchanging affection, a community of interests, mutual kindness ... ~The Lark by Edith Nesbit (1922)

dappled_days: The Lark by Edith Nesbit published in 1922 when she was in her sixties. I have seen this recommended a few times lately and I'm looking forward to starting it.

ThrenodiaI: Since I read English classics most of the time, I'd like to recommend one of my most loved books—The Railway Children by Edith Nesbit. If you're into light readings and heartwarming stories, I think you should give it a try.

SolomonWakeling: I don’t own any rare books. If there’s a fire I am not saving any of them. It might be hard to replace Giorgio Di Chirico’s Hebdomeros. Edith Nesbit’s Wet Magic is out of print. There are a few things here and there that I think might also be. But mostly my books are replaceable.

ThomasJohnMurch: Thirty seconds into Railway Children (2016), and I'm already beginning to suspect that this might not be based on the Edith Nesbit novel...

Poem of the day

William Wordsworth Poem
Written In Very Early Youth
 by William Wordsworth

CALM is all nature as a resting wheel.
The kine are couched upon the dewy grass;
The horse alone, seen dimly as I pass,
Is cropping audibly his later meal:
Dark is the ground; a slumber seems to steal
O'er vale, and mountain, and the starless sky.
Now, in this blank of things, a harmony,
Home-felt, and home-created, comes to heal
...
