Story
'My Daddy! My Daddy!' has become one of the most famous tearjerking lines. Bobby's cry as her father's figure appears through the mist of the steam train in this story of a family's stalwart struggle to keep calm and carry on when forced by the wrongful arrest of their father on spying charges to move from their idyllic life to a rundown cottage by a railway line has jerked the tears of generations of readers (and, in latter years, filmgoers and theatre audiences).

Cavando en un hoyo de grava en un caluroso día de verano, cinco niños descubren «eso» : una criatura gruñona con ojos como de caracol, orejas como de murciélago y un cuerpo rechoncho cubierto de pelo por entero. Es un Psammead, una antigua hada de arena que tiene el poder de conceder a los niños un deseo por día. «¡ Eso es un sueño hecho realidad !», pensaron los niños. Pero deberán tener mucho cuidado con lo que desean : ya sea teniendo alas, tesoros o belleza, las cosas pueden no ir tan bien como uno quisiera….

Story
Women, so often referred to as the gentler sex - in this volume at least, this is an unfounded and unlikely description. From their minds and pens comes a series of macabre, twisted tales that are anything but gentle. But as they weave their magic, usually black, and mesh you into their narrative you just know 'sugar and spice and all things nice' are not likely to be what little girls really are made of and certainly not these femme fatales....

Edith Nesbit was born on the 15th August 1858 in Kennington, then part of Surrey. Nesbit was an active lecturer and prolific writer on socialism but gradually her work for them dwindled as her career as a children’s writer grew. Her most famous success was ‘The Railway Children’ but she was also very prolific and greatly accomplished in poetry, short stories―especially her macabre ghost and supernatural stories―and novels for adults.
