The Enchanted Castle

De: E. Nesbit

Narrado por: Virginia Leishman

Jerry, Jimmy, and Kathleen can’t go home for their school holiday because their cousin is sick with measles there. Instead, they stay at Kathleen’s school with the French teacher. One morning, they set out to find adventure. Instead, they find an enchanted place - and magic, too! Walking through a nearby forest, they discover an enormous mansion, where a girl lies asleep in the garden. Although she pretends to be an enchanted princess, she is Mabel, the housekeeper’s niece. But she has a ring that really is magical. It can make the wearer invisible and grant wishes. It’s not long before the four friends are surrounded by strange and wonderful things.

E. Nesbit, born in 1858, was an unconventional woman whose home was a center for writers and artists, including George Bernard Shaw and H.G. Wells. When she was asked to try her hand at children’s stories, she created a series of books that combined fantasy and memories of her own childhood. First published in 1907, The Enchanted Castle is a timeless story of friendship and magic.

Lovely story and well read.

enjoyable story we listened on a long road trip. everyone from the 3rd grader to the adults listened quietly.

A Beautiful Dream

It was a lovely afternoon rest read. My four year old was ready to read it over again when we finished.

Lost in Adventure for hours

Loved every bit! So much adventure only a smidge scary, a small romance but mostly fun !

Childlhood Imagination That Even Adults Enjoy

Wonderful Book, esp. as read on Audible where the narrator comes to life by acting out with her voice, the different characters and their personas.

It sucks never read The

I disliked the story it was hard to understand it but. The main characters
Are ok.

An endearing classic

Another endearing children’s fantasy by a woman who obviously knows what children like. You can’t go wrong with Edith Nesbit and most of her books are in the public domain so you can get the free ebook at Amazon and add the whispersync narration. Great deal.

We love E. Nesbit!

We have read\listened to several of E. New it's books and this one just as delightful as the others. It did seem to drag on though, adding extra adventures/experiences that didn't really add to the plot.

✨WONDERFUL✨

This book is truly a work of art. I adored listening to it, and found the adventure, very immersive. Great for ages seven and up. I completely recommend listening to this book. it is so worth it.💗

TERRIBLE

Boring story with no character development. HORRIBLE narrator. Don't waste your time with this book.
