The Enchanted Castle
The Enchanted Castle is one of E. Nesbit’s most magical and haunting stories, published in 1907. Three children exploring the grounds of a great house during the holidays discover what seems to be an enchanted castle, complete with a sleeping princess and a ring that grants wishes. But the ring’s magic is wild and unpredictable, turning play into real and sometimes frightening enchantment, from statues that come alive by moonlight to the eerie, home-made Ugly-Wuglies. Nesbit mixes comedy with a genuine sense of wonder and unease, and the book is often named among her finest. This free PDF and EPUB offers the complete story.
