"هيا انظروا سميد مغامر فريد من ألف ألف عام يعود من جديد"
An absolute pleasure,
Sadly I did not discover it as a child, but it does not matter, I enjoyed it just the same, My childhood just put on an Edwardian boater hat and some rompers and came and WHACKED ME GLEEFULLY IN THE FACE, Five children practically left on this own in a English countryside, This book was published in, almostyears before C, S. Lewis wrote his The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,

However, the similarity ends there, The story of Five Children and It does not bring you to a magical world at the back of a wardrobe.
Rather, what the five children, Robert, Anthea, Cyril, Jane, and their baby brother, the Lamb find is a Psammead or a sand fairy has gotten buried in the sand since the Stone Age.
The five children are digging the sand thinking that they will be able to see the other side of the earth particularly the Australian children.
Funny, but this thought also came in my mind as a small boy when I learned in school that the earth is round and so I dug and dug in our backyard using a small gardening bolo.
I wished to see the other side of the world but I was afraid that the earth would collapse if I succeed.

film adaptation directed by John Stephenson

"Be careful what you wish for" is the main lesson that children can derive from this book.
The reason for this is that Psammead has the ability to grant children's wishes, However, during the stone age, most wishes were about food so the bones turned to stones fossilized, Now, things are different because the five children's wishes are not food or food related and for each wish they learn a lesson because of the consequences resulting from it.
So, the finding of the Psammead and its ability to grant wishes become like a big frame story and each wish becomes a small independent story.
The ending feels like an afterthought, thus, weak, It is like E. Nesbit felt like the book was becoming too long for comfort,

It's just an okay book for me, Nothing really extraordinary. I read Five Children and It with the Womens Classic Literature Enthusiasts group and enjoyed it immensely, If you like sitelinkMrs. PiggleWiggle and its series' mates by sitelinkBetty MacDonald, you will like Five Children and It, The ideal child reader of this book is between second and fifth grade, with a fondness for historical fiction or British classics.
For comparison, this is substantially easier reading then sitelinkC, S. Lewis fiction. The ideal adult reader is anyone who enjoys classic childrens novels and/or Edwardian literature,

Five Children and It was published inand is the first novel in Nesbits Psammead trilogy, which consists of Five Children and It, sitelinkThe Phoenix and the Carpet, and sitelinkThe Story of the Amulet.
In Five Children and It, a group of siblings Anthea, Robert, Cyril, Jane, and a baby who is referred to as the Lamb find the Psammead in a sand quarry near their home in the English countryside.
The Psammead is a sand fairy able to grant wishes, This classic takes us to Edwardian England, where horses and buggies were the most common form of transportation, and servants looked after the children.


If you are spoileraverse, you may want to stop reading further,

The most successful aspects of Five Children and It were the worldbuilding, the authentic relationships between and amongst the children, and Nesbit's writing style.
I could relate to the children and their emotions, They were described and interacted in a way that fit their ages and I found them to be differentiated in ageappropriate manners.
Nesbits writing style struck just the right tone for me, between communicating a moral and having fun, The morals werent overblown or eyerolling, The vocabulary didn't strike me as dumbeddown for children, but it also was not as flowery and ornate as Frances Hodgson Burnett's contemporaneously written works and was a style I found highly appealing.


Forof the book, the adventures worked for me, and my prethgrade self would have adored this book because it doesn't talk down to children and is sufficiently complex to appeal to adults.
The sexist and racist elements one chapter involves gypsies grated on me but were tolerable, if Nesbits handling is appropriately appreciated as progressive in the context of herpeers, until I encountered "Scalps" it describes an adventure populated by “red Indians” which made me want to take a shower.
YMMV. The last story involving the mother and stolen or magically relocated jewelry was unsuccessful for me, and I am not certain why although I suspect that the mother's involvement in the story makes it less of an adventure and more of a problem to be solved less charming and imaginative and more dire.


As with the Mrs, Piggle Wiggle series, the chapters of Five Children and It read like a series of onlylightlyconnected short stories, some of which were more successful than others.
It was great fun, though, a superquick readhours perhaps and I recommend it to anyone who reads the description and is intrigued, or who is a fan of Edwardian classics.


Background on the author: E, Nesbit was born in Kennington, Surrey in, The death of her father when she was four years old and the continuing ill health of her sister meant that Nesbit had a childhood absent focused adult attention, and frequent moves.
Her family moved across Europe in search of healthy climates for her sister, only to return to England for financial reasons, Growing up, she lived in France, Spain and Germany in addition to various locations in Great Britain, Her education came from a combination of periods in local elementary/grammar schools and the occasional boarding school but predominately through reading.
Nesbit wanted to be known as a poet and in her teens had a poem published, This gave her greater confidence to write more, both for adults and children, but it is for herchildren's books including those on which she collaborated with other authors she is best known.
She distinguished herself from other writers of her time by writing about children as they were, and rewriting conventional adventure stories to present them with female characters in lead roles.


Her friends included HG Wells and George Bernard Shaw, She also was a political activist and a follower of sitelinkWilliam Morris and she and her husband Hubert Bland were among the founders of the Fabian Society, a socialist organization later affiliated to the Labour Party.
Nesbit was an active lecturer and prolific writer on socialism during thes,

This was just such a nice nostalgia trip for me, I'm sure I used to watch a TV program of this story when I was younger as I can remember Psammead, who is a sand fairy.
This story follows the adventures and situations five children find themselves in once they discover Psammead and find out he will grant one wish between them all each day.


I find it impossible to be too harsh on this story because it is literally a children's classic and I think it makes an excellent book for children to read.
I must admit that I didn't enjoy this book as much as I expected to though and I definitely didn't enjoy it as much as The Railway Children, which is by the same author.
I feel like this story lacked a little something for me and I'm not completely sure what it is, I personally listened to the audiobook version and I didn't have any problems with the narrator, I honestly just think this story lacked a little something, I just can't work out exactly what that something is, I didn't find myself connecting with and caring about the children in this story very much, especially again when compared to The Railway Children.


As I have said though, I do think this is an important book for children as it teaches them in a fun way to be careful what you wish for.
Also the Psammead comes across as a little scary to begin with, but once the children and the reader get to know him, he becomes totally adorable.
I recommend this to children who haven't yet read this book, I'm not sure I'd recommend it to older readers though, Also, I have just learned that this book is part of a series, I don't currently plan to continue the series, though never say never.
Ladies and gentlemen,I will try something, which until now had never done to write three reviews in one day, Unfortunately I could not get to write three reviews on the same day, because I was helping my boss with the proceedings, and do not regret me pass it to me as a child:.

I liked this book, being Edith Nesbit was to be expected, and as I said I was thinking about puttingstars, but there have been several factors, which have prevented me from it.
In the first place is that I think the best will be required, and certainly Edith Nesbit has talent, for much more.
This story I liked a lot, but not as much as "treasure hunters" sitelink goodreads. com/book/show/ amp fromsearch true or their tales of dragons sitelink goodreads. com/book/show/
Firstly, I believe that it should explain the reason why I read this book, Months ago in April, I read that book of the "history of fantasy" sitelink goodreads. com/book/show/ amp fromsearch true
written by Silvia Pato sitelink goodreads. com/author/show
, and edited by Nowtilus publishing, despite his antiChristian bias, and feminist is a book that I liked, and I recommend, despite their unfairest prejudice.
In that book spoke of Edith Nesbit I already knew the "five guys, and that" in part because Goodreads, recommended it to me and my conversations with the Professor Manuel Alfonseca sitelink goodreads. com/author/show . I discovered thanks to "the brief history of the fantasy" to "five guys and that" was based on a Japanese anime, which I saw in the tvewhen small Shamed was the magic Elf, which I loved.
sitelink wikipedia. org/wiki/Samed, elduendemagico However, it seems to be that there were differences, which we will be examining,
First thing, I must say this book, It is that I really enjoyed the Edition, which has made the editorial El Paseo, I must say, that I will continue to this editorial with enormous interest, It was a success by the editorial El Paseo rescue the original drawings,
The beginning, perhaps a little weaker than expected, but very well are the following chapters, which are among the best that has been written in children's literature, if Edith Nesbit had maintained that pace during the entire novel, no doubt you would have put the five to the book.
Those pages reminded me of the best moments of "golden age" Kenneth Grahame sitelink goodreads. com/book/show/ and the William of Richmal Crompton sitelink goodreads. com/series/ the William, will always be a kid's version of the great P, G. Wodehouse sitelink goodreads. com/author/show that sometimes even manages to overcome it, but going back to "five children and that" one of the biggest attractions of the book is without a doubt the moral and ethical tone of the book.
Aside from that the five children in this case three children one a baby and two girls live incredible adventures, We will see how Nesbit encouraged against greed remember, that these stories Edith Nesbit wrote them for his son, as did Kenneth Grahame, James Mathew Barrie sitelink goodreads. com/author/show
for protégés, James A, A. Milne sitelink goodreads. com/author/show
or the own J, R. R. Tolkien sitelink goodreads. com/author/show Sometimes we will be touched considerably, At least in some chapter I felt deeply moved, Also despite being a novel halfway between realism and fantasy all in one of the stories, because except, that sometime the wishes are lengthened into two chapters, but usually every wish is a chapter.
With all Nesbit in one of wishes you will use a resource, which will be then used in many novels of fantasy, science fiction uy.
I do not say that, should the users of Goodreads, who read this book find out for itself, One of the positive things about this wonderful book is the number of writers who quote and Nesbit refers to them as to Rudyard Kipling sitelink goodreads. com/author/show or the own Anstey, the author of "vice versa a lesson for parents" sitelink goodreads. com/author/show in fact the author herself in the final chapter tells us, F, Anstey book inspired her to end sitelink goodreads. com/book/show/ "The brass bottle". In this story a genius ask which desires does not perform them well, and up to the end just getting his master in the bottle, and replacing him, getting rid of the problem by, someone asked him, wish this had not happened.
Nesbit also speaks a story of medieval adventures of Ralph de Courcy, but I have not managed to find, With all the Knight Sir Wulfric de Talbot left me a great mark, Now we are going to talk about the crux issue why they have not given him four We all know that Psamead, or that is a fairy of sand, which is leading in the hole since prehistoric times, I think, to tell the story to his son Nesbit was very strict with the chronology, by what we will see many anachronisms.
I doubt that the primitive men asked him to Psamead Ictiosaurios, and other types of lizards, Nor does it seem very credible, that the Psamead tell the story of the son of the Assyrian king, when it was buried in prehistory.
How did it know if it was buried Another thing is that the Psamead says, that wishes only last a day, but has the power, so the maid Martha does not know and that lasts forever, and also manage to make the Psamead to grant them the desire before ordering it.
How it is possible that you have so much power, for one thing, and then so little for other Another thing that infuriates me is that children in particular to Anthea Panther You'll want to, but the Psamead is somewhat obnoxious, and since then I do not know the reader, but certainly I do not fell I well.
It is the more sullen and surly with what I found, I also wonder if Robert has no part of reason to say, if the Psamead is an evil fairy, What says you Father Brown Flambeau in "Sins of the Saradine Prince" when he said that they wrote fairytale know more than that you, sitelink goodreads. com/book/show/ sitelink goodreads. com/author/show or when he says that he didn't say that it was wrong to enter into the Kingdom of fairies, but always had danger in it.
That's the pay, none of the wishes granted to boys goes well, This is the difference that I have with Nesbit, Why is so generous to the boys of "The treasure seekers" and instead is hard with these poor guys In my opinion we learn hard lessons of life.
If the Psamead as they appreciate not want to, or not it can grant wishes, should have said from the beginning, although of course, but there would be no novel.
Yet I suspect, that Nesbit was Socialist Fabiana with all the story we must recognize, that makes no apology for socialism, or tries to inoculate the reader.
Only lightly in "The railway children" is also a good novel, I think, it kind of "Treasure hunters", because they are poor, and instead of these not is it mercy, because they need to go.
We talked about my friend Alfonseca, and I of this circumstance, and said that leftwing writers such as Aldous Huxley, and Arthur C.
Clarke always felt preference for Buddhism, I believe that Nesbit is something good, that I learn to be happy with what we have, but, although the Psamead says, that they are not asking well wishes.
My impression is that you except the final wishes, I think Nesbit is wrong in one thing and it's not bad to want things, provided that what is asked is good.
I think about my favorite series Doraemon The Gadget Cat from the future, Inventions are not bad, but the way that Nobita, Suneo and Giant employ them, . I told a joke to my friend Alfonseca and said no I wanted you, because we'll do it for you, My friend told me, that one of the stories, that delves more into the subject of how dangerous that is ask certain desires is the story of the "hand of the monkey" sitelink goodreads. com/book/show/ . Not a big fan of the Simpsons I am lately, but don't miss out on the fun Halloween, that made this story of W.
W. Jacobs. I believe that the screenwriter had even worse bad grapes, that own Jacobs, The same thing happens, I think with the desires, The last wishes are a both absurd, and are not as good as the middle, Although there is one very funny that Nesbit get call and call to the Hilary Maur W, baby lamb three ways and the uses of comic and hilarious way with much wit, In short, it is a very good book, but a little bit, has lacked to overcome that line that separates the good from the great.
All in all, a very entertaining reading,


.
Damas y caballeros voy a intentar algo, que hasta el momento nunca había hecho escribir tres críticas en un día.
Desgraciadamente no pude conseguir escribir tres críticas el mismo día, porque estuve ayudando a mi Jefe con las Actas, y no me arrepiento me lo pase como un niño :.

Este libro me ha gustado mucho mi nota es de,siendo Edith Nesbit era de esperar, y como dije estuve pensando ponerleestrellas, pero ha habido varios factores, que me lo han impedido.
En primer lugar es que yo pienso que a los mejores hay que exigirles, y ciertamente Edith Nesbit tiene talento, para mucho más.
Esta historia me ha gustado muchísimo, pero no tanto como “Buscadores de tesoros” sitelink goodreads. com/book/show/ o sus cuentos de dragones sitelink goodreads. com/book/show/
En primer lugar, creo, que debería explicar el motivo por el que leí este libro, Hace meses en abril, leí ese libro de la “Historia de la fantasía” sitelink goodreads. com/book/show/ escrito por Silvia Pato sitelink goodreads. com/author/show , y editado por la editorial Nowtilus, pese a su sesgo anticristiano, y feminista es un libro que me gustó mucho, y que, recomiendo, pese a sus injustísimos prejuicios.
En ese libro se hablaba de Edith Nesbit yo, ya conocía los “Cinco chicos, y eso” en parte porque me lo recomendó Goodreads, y por mis conversaciones con el Profesor Manuel Alfonseca sitelink goodreads. com/author/show . Descubrí gracias a “La breve historia de la fantasía” que “Cinco chicos y eso” estaba basado en un anime japonés, que yo veía en la tvecuando era pequeño Shamed el Duende mágico, que me encantaba.
sitelink wikipedia. org/wiki/Samed, Con todo, parece ser, que había diferencias, que iremos examinando,
Lo primero, que debo decir de este libro, Es que me ha gustado mucho la edición, que ha hecho la editorial El Paseo, Debo decir, que seguiré a esta editorial con enorme interés, Fue un acierto por parte de la editorial El Paseo rescatar los dibujos originales,
El comienzo, quizá sea un poco más flojo de lo esperado, pero están muy bien los siguientes capítulos, que están entre lo mejor, que se ha escrito en literatura infantil, si Edith Nesbit hubiera mantenido ese ritmo durante toda la novela, sin duda le habría puesto las cinco estrellas al libro.
Esas páginas me recordaron a los mejores momentos de “La edad dorada” de Kenneth Grahame sitelink goodreads. com/book/show/ y los Guillermos de Richmal Crompton sitelink goodreads. com/series/ Los Guillermos, siempre serán una versión infantil del gran P, G. Wodehouse sitelink goodreads. com/author/show que a veces incluso llega a superarlo, pero volviendo a “Cinco niños y eso” uno de los mayores atractivos del libro es sin duda el tono moral, y ético del libro.
Al margen de que los cinco niños en este caso tres niños uno un bebe y dos chicas vivan unas aventuras increíbles.
Veremos cómo Nesbit les alienta contrala codicia cabe recordar, que estos cuentos Edith Nesbit los escribía para su hijo, como lo hicieron Kenneth Grahame, James Mathew Barrie sitelink goodreads. com/author/show para sus protegidos, James A, A. Milne sitelink goodreads. com/author/show o el propio J, R. R. Tolkien sitelink goodreads. com/author/show Algunos momentos nos enternecerán considerablemente, Yo por lo menos en algún capítulo me sentí hondamente conmovido, También pese a ser una novela a medio camino entre el realismo y la fantasía con todo en una de las historias, porque salvo, que en algún momento los deseos se alargan en dos capítulos, pero generalmente cada deseo es un capítulo.
Con todo Nesbit en uno de los deseos usará un recurso, que luego será utilizada en muchas novelas de fantasía, uy ciencia ficción.
No digo cual eso, deberán los usuarios de Goodreads, que lean este libro descubrirlo por sí mismo, Otra de las cosas positivas de este maravilloso libro es la cantidad de escritores a los que cita y a los que Nesbit hace referencia como a Rudyard Kipling sitelink goodreads. com/author/show o el propio Anstey el autor de “Viceversa una lección para padres” sitelink goodreads. com/author/show de hecho la propia autora en el capítulo final nos dice, que libro de F, Anstey la inspiró, para el final sitelink goodreads. com/book/show/ “The brass bottle”. En este relato un genio al que le piden deseos no los realiza bien, y encima al final acaba metiendo a su amo en la botella, y sustituyéndole, librándose del problema haciendo, que alguien le pidiese, desearía que esto no hubiera ocurrido.
También Nesbit habla de un relato de aventuras medievales de Ralph de Courcy, pero no lo he conseguido encontrar, Con todo me dejó una gran impronta el caballero Sir Wulfric de Talbot,
Ahora vamos a hablar del quid de la cuestión de Por qué no le he dado las cuatro estrellas Todos sabemos que Psamead, o el Eso es un hada de arena, que se supone, que lleva en el agujero desde la prehistoria, yo creo, que al contarle el relato a su hijo Nesbit no fue muy rigurosa con la cronología, por lo que veremos muchos anacronismos.
Dudo que los hombres primitivos le pidieran al Psamead Ictiosaurios, y otros tipos de saurios, Tampoco me parece muy creíble, que el Psamead cuente la historia del hijo del Rey Asirio, cuando se enterró en la prehistoria.
Cómo lo supo si estaba enterrado Otra cosa es que el Psamead dice, que los deseos sólo duran un día, pero tiene el poder, para que la criada Martha no se entera y eso dura para siempre, y también se las arreglan para que el Psamead les conceda el deseo antes de pedirlo.
Cómo es posible que tenga tanto poder, para una cosa, y luego tan poco para otras Otra cosa, que me enfurece es que a los niños en especial a Anthea la pantera le gustará, pero el Psamead es un tanto odioso, y desde luego no sé al lector, pero desde luego a mí no me cayó bien.
Es lo más huraño, y arisco con lo que me he encontrado, Además yo me pregunto si Robert no tiene parte de razón al decir, si el Psamead es un hada maléfica.
Lo que le apunta el Padre Brown a Flambeau en “Los pecados del Príncipe Saradine” cuando decía que los que escribían de cuentos de hadas sabían más de eso que usted, sitelink goodreads. com/book/show/ sitelink goodreads. com/author/show o cuando dice que no dijo que fuera malo entrar en el reino de las hadas, sino que siempre había peligro en ello.
Esa es la paga, que ninguno de los deseos concedidos a los chicos sale bien, Esta es la diferencia, que yo tengo con Nesbit, Por qué es tan generosa con los chicos de “Los buscadores de tesoros” y en cambio es tan dura con estos pobres chicos En mi opinión les hace aprender de forma muy dura las lecciones de la vida.
Si el Psamead como se apreciará no quiere, o no puede conceder deseos, debería haberlo dicho desde el principio, aunque claro, sino no habría novela.
Con todo yo sospecho, que Nesbit que era socialista Fabiana con todo el relato hay que reconocer, que no hace apología del socialismo, ni trata de inocularlo al lector.
Sólo ligeramente en “Los chicos del ferrocarril” que también es una buena novela, Yo, creo, que se apiada de los “Buscadores de tesoros”, porque son pobres, y en cambio de estos no se apiada tanto, porque pasan necesidad.
Estuvimos hablando mi amigo Alfonseca, y yo de esta circunstancia, y me dijo que escritores de izquierdas como Aldous Huxley, y Arthur C.
Clarke siempre sintieron preferencias por el budismo, Yo, creo, que Nesbit trata algo bueno, de que aprendamos a ser felices con lo que tenemos, pero, aunque el Psamead dice, que no están pidiendo bien los deseos.
Mi impresión es que salvo los deseos finales, Yo, creo, que Nesbit se equivoca en una cosa y es que no es malo desear cosas, siempre que lo que se pide sea bueno.
Pienso en mi serie favorita Doraemon The Gadget Cat from the future, Los inventos no son malos, sino la forma en que los emplean Nobita, Suneo, y Gigante, Yo le conté un chiste a mi amigo Alfonseca y le dije no deseé usted, ya lo haremos nosotros por usted, Mi amigo me dijo, que uno de los relatos, que ahonda más en el tema de lo peligroso que es pedir ciertos deseos es el relato de la “Mano del mono” sitelink goodreads. com/book/show/ . No soy últimamente un gran fan de los Simpsons, pero no se pierdan el divertido Halloween, que hicieron de ese relato de W.
W. Jacobs. Yo creo, que el guionista aún tenía peor mala uva, que el propio Jacobs,
Lo mismo pasa creo, yo con los deseos, Los últimos deseos son un tanto absurdos, y no son tan buenos como los del medio, Aunque hay uno muy divertido en el que Nesbit consigue denominar y llamar al bebe corderito de tres maneras diferentes Hilary Maur W.
y la emplea de forma cómica, e hilarante con mucho ingenio,
En resumen, es un libro muy bueno, pero le ha faltado un poquitín, para superar esa línea que separa lo bueno de lo grandioso.
Con todo, una lectura muy entretenida, .
