Review:
I love her books (Neil Gaiman)
My all-time favourite classic children's author (Jacqueline Wilson)
Edith Nesbit is endlessly surprising and inventive . . . She is also simply the funniest writer we have ever had, while being the one who could most easily and sweetly break your heart with a phrase. Just try saying "Daddy, oh my Daddy" without catching your breath (Frank Cottrell-Boyce)
By turns sweet and serious, this much loved classic is above all a celebration of kindness and hope (Kiran Millwood Hargrave)
