Sinossi

In "The Psammead Trilogy 'Äì The Magical Adventures of Five Friends," Edith Nesbit weaves a delightful tapestry of imaginative narratives that blend whimsy and moral lessons. Through the enchanting adventures of five children who discover a wish-granting creature known as the Psammead, Nesbit employs a captivating mix of humor and suspense, inviting readers into a world where the ordinary meets the extraordinary. The richly illustrated edition enhances the experience, bringing to life the vivid landscapes and charming characters that have secured the trilogy's place as a beloved classic in children'Äôs literature. Edith Nesbit, an influential figure in early 20th-century literature, was known for her innovative approach to storytelling and her commitment to social issues, which likely informed the themes present in her writing. Her experiences as a socialist and mother of three shaped her understanding of childhood and imagination, making her a pioneer in the genre of children's fantasy literature. Nesbit's unique ability to blend the fantastical with real-world concerns resonates throughout these stories, as they challenge traditional notions of childhood innocence while exploring the complexities of friendship and adventure. This illustrated edition is a must-read for both children and adults alike, as it captures the timeless essence of curiosity and the importance of imagination. Readers are highly encouraged to dive into this magical world where every desire holds consequences, reminding us all of the power and responsibility that comes with our wishes.

    The Man in the Moon came tumbling down, 
    And enquired the way to Norwich; 
    He went by the south and burned his mouth 
    With eating cold pease porridge! 
    WHAT! have you never heard the story of the Man in the Moon? Then I must surely tell it, for it is very amusing, and there is not a word of truth in it. 
    The Man in the Moon was rather lonesome, and often he peeked over the edge of the moon and looked down upon the earth and envied all the people who lived together, for he thought it must be vastly more pleasant to have companions to talk to than to be shut up in a big planet all by himself, where he had to whistle to keep himself company. 
    One day he looked down and saw an alderman sailing up through the air towards him. This alderman was being translated (instead of being transported, owing to a misprint in the law) and as he came near the Man in the Moon called to him and said, 
    "How is everything down on the earth?" 
    "Everything is lovely," replied the alderman, "and I wouldn't leave it if I was not obliged to." 
    "What's a good place to visit down there? enquired the Man in the Moon. 
    "Oh, Norwich is a mighty fine place," returned the alderman, "and it's famous for its pease porridge;" and then he sailed out of sight and left the Man in the Moon to reflect upon what he had said.
