The first is a classic of children's literature, Five Children and It by E. Nesbit. This was an absolute favorite of mine when I was growing up. It's one of those books that comes back to you long after you've finished reading it.
This story has everything, believable children, strange creatures, wishes coming true and badly behaving adults. When I first read it, the English countryside seemed very exotic to me as well.
This is the first of a trilogy of fantasy books and we hope to bring the second and third books in the next two weeks.

The second of today's offerings is a strange little novel written in 1666 by the Duchess of Newcastle.
The Blazing World is considered to be an early precursor to modern science fiction and is included in the genre of utopian novels as well. More strange creatures and people!
