Aprašymas

First published in 1907, Edith Nesbit's "The Enchanted Castle" is the story of Gerald, James, and Kathleen, three young children living in the English countryside. They discover a castle while exploring during their school holidays and they pretend that it is enchanted. While in the castle's garden they discover what they believe to be a sleeping princess, who is actually Mabel, the housekeeper's niece. Mabel, pretending to be a princess, tells the children that the castle is full of magic. She takes them into the castle and shows the children a treasure room and what she says is a magic ring. Much to Mabel's and the children's surprise, the ring truly is magical and a fantastical adventure begins. The ring can also grant wishes and the children soon learn that not all wishes should come true and they must battle with a ghost, dinosaurs, and fearsome creatures called Ugli-Wuglies before they are all safe again. "The Enchanted Castle" is a delightful and entertaining tale of adventure which continues to entertain readers of all ages more than a century after its original publication. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
