Five Children and It

 I love E. Nesbit, since I discovered a certain ghost story of hers in a certain anthology. Unlike many people, I thus first discovered as an writer of supernatural, even horror fiction, rather than
a writer of children literature. That said, because I admired her scary stories so much, I decided to read more of her. Including Five Children and It, which sounds like a prequel to a Stephen King novel, but is not. I found it in the local bookshop and read it in 2020, in the middle of lockdown. recently, my wife found it among the bookshelves and has decided to read it to Wolfie, who really loves it. So this is now a faily book.
