About this book

The Phoenix and the Carpet is E. Nesbit's delightful sequel to Five Children and It, published in 1904. Back home in London after their summer adventures, the children find a mysterious egg rolled up in a new nursery carpet, and when it falls into the fire it hatches into a splendid, vain, and talkative Phoenix. The carpet, it turns out, is a magic one that will carry them anywhere they ask, and with the Phoenix as their guide the children are swept off on a string of scrapes across the world and beyond. Nesbit blends wild invention with the ordinary muddles of family life to wonderful comic effect. This free PDF and EPUB offers the complete story.
