	Edith Nesbit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Also known as Edith Nesbit Bland, Nesbit published most of her work under the gender-hiding signature of "E. Nesbit."; with her husband, she also published under the alias "Fabian Bland." Nesbit was a prolific writer whose prodigious output allowed her to support her large, sprawling family.
		Nesbit likened her imprudent relationship with Bland to the romance of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning; Bland, however, was simultaneously involved with another woman who would remain his mistress through the next decade.
		Nesbit was famous for the parties she gave at Well Hall (her dilapidated moated residence in Eltham), and she was often found there surrounded by her male admirers—courtiers who sometimes became her lovers.

	The New York Review of Books: The Writing of E. Nesbit
		Born in 1858, Edith Nesbit was the daughter of the head of a British agricultural college.
		Nesbit's usual device is to take a family of children ranging in age from a baby to a child of ten or eleven and then involve them in adventures, either magical or realistic (never both at the same time).
		Nesbit's vow to survive somehow in the enemy's consciousness became, finally, her art—when this you see remember me—and the child within continued to the end of the adult's life.

		Published nearly one hundred years ago, E. Nesbit was a Bohemian liberal and philanthropist with a wicked sense of humour and a respect for children that shines in her thoughtful, realistic portrayal of them in her novels.
		Nesbit's melding of normal life and magic is the defining feature of her work, and for the first few chapters the reader is kept in suspense of what's real and what's not.
		Nesbit has the children realise some fundamental facts about it; such as the time limit on its wishes, the way it removes fear from the wearer and the behavioural changes it creates in the wearer's loved ones, but never explains how and why the ring has these particular traits or where it originally comes from.
