Nine original and, yes, unlikely fairy-tales, which include stories of the arithmetic fairy, the king who became a charming villa-residence and the dreadful automatic nagging machine.

All are classic Nesbit: charming, novel and not afraid to squeeze in a moral or two -- told with proper fairy-tale style.

tired father ,

My favorite children’s author.

Beautifully read, fascinating, and quite progressive for 1900.
