The Enchanted Castle de Edith Nesbit

The Enchanted Castle

Edith Nesbit

Ravell

Set in a castle in a country estate in the West Country, three children, Gerald, James and Kathleen, discover this enchanted castle while exploring this during school holidays. The Lake, Woods and marble statues, with white towers and turrets in the distance, form a fairytale setting. At the center of the labyrinth in the rose garden of the castle the boys discover a fabulous Princess asleep. The "Princess" tells them that the castle is full of magic. She shows him the treasures of the Castle, including a magic ring that she says is a ring of invisibility, but when she actually becomes invisible she panics and admits that she is the niece of the governess, Mabel and she was just acting. The children soon discover that the ring has other magical powers. The enchanted castle was written for adults and children. It combines imaginative descriptions, children play on the sly that recalls the story of the treasure seekers, with an increasingly compelling magic.

Notă biografică

Edith Nesbit (1858-1924) was a British author and poet best known for her children's literature, including The Railway Children, Five Children and It and The Phoenix and the Carpet. Nesbit was born in London and spent much of her childhood moving between different parts of the country due to her father's work as an agricultural chemist. Nesbit began her writing career as a poet and was associated with the Symbolist movement. She later turned her attention to children's literature, drawing inspiration from her own experiences as a mother and her interest in the supernatural and magical worlds. Nesbit's writing was known for its humour, wit and imaginative storytelling, and she was one of the first authors to introduce a contemporary and realistic setting to children's literature. In addition to her writing, Nesbit was also an active member of the Fabian Society, a socialist organization that advocated for social and political change in Britain. Her political views were reflected in her writing, which often included themes of social justice and equality. Nesbit's works have been praised for their enduring appeal and their ability to engage and entertain readers of all ages. Her stories have been adapted into numerous films, television series and stage productions, and her influence on children's literature can be seen in the works of many contemporary authors. Nesbit's legacy as a pioneering and influential writer has continued to be celebrated and appreciated by readers around the world.
