Este volumen recopila nueve cuentos que la autora escribió entre 1887 y 1910. Si bien Nesbit es más conocida por sus obras de corte infantil, a lo largo de su vida también escribió una gran cantidad de relatos fantasmagóricos y sobrenaturales en los que plasmaba aspectos de su propia vida relacionados con las frustraciones, el miedo y sus deseos.

It wouldn’t be out of line to call this book a great world of pretend. It is actually eight short stories that are clever and magical, as well as frightening at times.
