The Story of the Amulet

The Story of the Amulet (1906)
by Edith Nesbit

→

The final part of a trilogy of novels that also includes Five Children and It (1902) and The Phoenix and the Carpet (1904). In it the children re-encounter the Psammead—the "it" in Five Children and It. As it no longer grants wishes to the children, however, its capacity is mainly advisory in relation to the children's other discovery, the Amulet. Gore Vidal called this time-travel book, one in which "Nesbit's powers of invention are at their best."
