Using elements of magic and mystery familiar to readers of her beloved Bastable and Psammead Trilogies, Nesbit crafts a tale of wonder and adventure for children and adults alike. While on a school holiday, children Jerry, Jimmy, and Kathy explore the open landscape of rural southwestern England. One day, they discover an immense country estate, designed like an ancient castle and complete with towers, gardens, groves, and even a lake. In the middle of its central rose garden, they find a maze at the end of which a young girl lies asleep. Waking, she reveals that she is the princess of the castle, and agrees to show them some of its mysteries. One of these is the ring of invisibility, which, when she slips it on her finger to demonstrate its power, actually works. Startled, the princess reveals that she is really the housekeeper’s niece, and admits that she was only fooling around. Scared at first, the children begin to experiment with the ring, unleashing its powers in fantastic and terrifying ways. The Enchanted Castle is an entertaining, endearing novel, a masterpiece of mystery and adventure with enough excitement to ignite the wonder of children, and to fill any adult with a sense of childish wonder. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Edith Nesbit’s The Enchanted Castle is a classic of English children’s literature reimagined for modern readers.

Book excerpt: "No," said the Princess suddenly, "no; I can't give wishes to you, it only gives mewishes. But I'll let you see the ring make me invisible. Only you must shut your eyeswhile I do it."They shut them."Count fifty," said the Princess, "and then you may look. And then you must shutthem again, and count fifty, and I'll reappear."Gerald counted, aloud. Through the counting one could hear a creaking, rustlingsound."Forty-seven, forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty!" said Gerald, and they opened theireyes.They were alone in the room. The jewels had vanished and so had the Princess."She's gone out by the door, of course," said Jimmy, but the door was locked."That is magic," said Kathleen breathlessly."Maskelyne and Devant can do that trick," said Jimmy. "And I want my tea.""Your tea!" Gerald's tone was full of contempt. "The lovely Princess," he went on,"reappeared as soon as our hero had finished counting fifty. One, two, three, four--"Gerald and Kathleen had both closed their eyes. But somehow Jimmy hadn't. Hedidn't mean to cheat, he just forgot. And as Gerald's count reached twenty he saw apanel under the window open slowly."Her," he said to himself. "I knew it was a trick!" and at once shut his eyes, like anhonourable little boy.On the word "fifty" six eyes opened. And the panel was closed and there was noPrincess."She hasn't pulled it off this time," said Gerald."Perhaps you'd better count again," said Kathleen."I believe there's a cupboard under the window," said Jimmy, "and she's hidden init. Secret panel, you know.""You looked! that's cheating," said the voice of the Princess so close to his earthat he quite jumped."I didn't cheat.""Where on earth-- What ever--" said all three together. For still there was noPrincess to be seen."Come back visible, Princess dear," said Kathleen. "Shall we shut our eyes andcount again?""Don't be silly!" said the voice of the Princess, and it sounded very cross."We're not silly," said Jimmy, and his voice was cross too. "Why can't you comeback and have done with it? You know you're only hiding.""Don't!" said Kathleen gently. "She is invisible, you know.""So should I be if I got into the cupboard," said Jimmy."Oh yes," said the sneering tone of the Princess, "you think yourselves veryclever, I dare say. But I don't mind. We'll play that you can't see me, if you like.""Well, but we can't," said Gerald. "It's no use getting in a wax. If you're hiding, asJimmy says, you'd better come out. If you've really turned invisible, you'd bettermake yourself visible again.""Do you really mean," asked a voice quite changed, but still the Princess's, "thatyou can't see me?""Can't you see we can't?" asked Jimmy rather unreasonably.The sun was blazing in at the window; the eight-sided room was very hot, andevery one was getting cross.
