Here is a library where the shelves are never quite still, and the books, if treated kindly, will open of their own accord. In The Edith Nesbit Library, her beloved stories are read aloud in full: tales of brave children, troublesome wishes, enchanted castles, railway adventures, dragons, phoenixes, and other impossible things that have a habit of becoming true before tea-time. Step inside, sit very quietly, and listen.Public domain
