The Enchanted Castle - Edith Nesbit

Title: The Enchanted Castle
Author: Edith Nesbit
Genre: Classic
Rating: 9/10
# pages: Audiobook
Date read: February, 2008


Summary: Pretending a castle they've discovered is enchanted, three children come upon a "sleeping princess" in the garden (It's Mabel, the housekeeper's niece, who is also doing some pretending). When Mabel shows them a secret treasure room with a magic ring, enchantment becomes a reality.

Review: Like her other books, a very sweet tale for kids. I wish my parents had introduced us to these when we were younger, I think we'd have LOVED them. This one reminded me a lot of "Five Children and It" in that you need to be careful what you wish for.

A charming book, and even though I'd guessed the ending at a very early stage, I still hugely enjoyed it.
