The Magic World (1909) is a collection of twelve children's fantasy
stories by English writer Edith Nesbit. Using elements of magic and
mystery familiar to readers of her beloved Bastable and Psammead
Trilogies, Nesbit crafts tales of wonder and adventure for children
and adults alike. In "The Cat-hood of Maurice," a young boy learns
firsthand the consequences of mistreating the family cat. One day,
Maurice attaches an empty sardine can to Lord Hugh's tail,
terrifying and traumatizing the poor cat. When his father gets
home, Maurice is told that he will be spending the next week at Dr.
Strongitharm's school for wayward boys. At the last moment, Maurice
discovers Lord Hugh in his room, who reveals to the boy a magic
word that will turn him into a cat. In "Accidental Magic," a boy
named Quentin is sent to school in Salisbury. Immensely interested
in archaeology and history, Quentin is excited to learn that he
will be able to visit Stonehenge while at school. After getting in
a fight with a bully, Quentin runs away in fear of expulsion and
escapes through the fields toward Stonehenge. There, he searches
for the fabled altar stone, where, exhausted and scared, he falls
asleep. When he wakes up, he finds he has been transported to the
lost world of Atlantis, where the people call him the "Chosen of
the Gods," but fail to reveal what it is he is chosen for. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Edith Nesbit's The Magic World is a classic of
English children's literature reimagined for modern readers.
