	E. Nesbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edith Nesbit (August 15, 1858 - May 4, 1924) was an English author and poet whose children's works were published under the androgenous name of E.
		However, Nesbit was an active lecturer and prolific writer on socialism during the 1880s (often signing her books 'Fabian Bland'), though this activity dwindled as her success as a children's author grew.
		According to her biographer Julia Briggs, Nesbit was "the first modern writer for children": "[Nesbit] helped to reverse the great tradition of children's literature inaugurated by Carroll, MacDonald and Kenneth Grahame, in turning away from their secondary worlds to the tough truths to be won from encounters with things-as-they-are, previously the province of adult novels.

		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.

		Edith Nesbit is one of the masters of children's literature, and is therefore virtually unknown.
		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.

	Edith Nesbit
		For someone who wrote such sympathetic and lasting evocations of Victorian/Edwardian middle-class childhood as The Railway Children, The Wouldbegoods and Five Children and It, Edith Nesbit was also an ardent early socialist, a founder of the Fabian Society and a chain smoking fashion setter of the political/literary avant garde.
		Much of her early personal life, especially her lost father, financial struggles and migratory childhood, can be seen as strong echoes in her stories and she remains one of the most accessible and honest authorial voices of her era.
