The Enchanted Castle

When three children find their way into the gardens of a great house and meet a girl pretending to be an enchanted princess, they stumble upon a magic ring. Whatever its wearer says it does, it does, and soon they are caught up in a series of chaotic adventures involving invisibility, statues that come alive by moonlight, and the Ugly-Wuglies, a stuffed-clothes audience that comes to life. E. Nesbit's classic novel, first published in 1907, blends humour, mystery and magic in a story that has delighted readers for over a century.

This edition contains the complete text of The Enchanted Castle, with a new introduction that sets the book in its historical and literary context. It also includes a character guide to the main figures, a summary of the plot, notes on the major themes, a glossary of old and unusual words, and a set of discussion questions for readers, students and book clubs.
