Description:In Magic and the Magician, Noel Streatfeild traces the early life of a great children's writer - E. Nesbit - and discovers some of the reasons why the Nesbit books have their particular 'magic.' Although E.

She also has much of interest to say about the Nesbit book themselves and her appreciation of the Bastable stories, the Psammead, the Phoeix and the Mouldiwarp book, and The Railway Children give a fascinating insight into the art of writing for children.Here is a delightful tribute to a great writer.
