Product Description
Product Description
The four children acquired the magic carpet when they found a special fire egg -- it hatched in their nursery fireplace. The phoenix came from the egg, and when he saw their mother's new Persian carpet, he turned it into a magical thing -- a flying carpet that would take them any time and place they could write onto a slip of paper. Witty, genuine, full of timeless sympathy and childish sensibility. _The Phoenix and the Carpet offers a special ride through wonders for children of all ages.

A forgotten literary classic,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Phoenix and the Carpet (Paperback)
E. Nesbit, once hailed amongst the greatest children's authors, has now all but disappeared from view. "The Pheonix and the Carpet" is a classic that should be rediscovered as soon as possible by readers of all ages. The story, much like Edward Eager's own stories, involves children dealing with difficult magic they cannot quite control. In the book, several kids discover a magnificent pheonix in a ratty old carpet. The pheonix itself is a tart-tounged creature, often unwilling to be dragged from one adventure to another. I highly recommend every man, woman, and child drop what you are doing immediately and read this book.
