The Story of the Amulet

The Story of the Amulet is the third and finest book about Nesbit’s five children, published in 1906. Missing their parents and left in London, they meet the Psammead again in a pet shop and, on its advice, buy half of an ancient Egyptian amulet that can carry them through time. In search of the missing half, the children travel to ancient Egypt, Babylon, and Atlantis, and even into the future, meeting pharaohs and priests and glimpsing a better world to come. Praised for its real feeling for history and its gentle vision of a fairer society, it is one of the earliest and best children’s time-travel tales. This free PDF and EPUB offers the complete story.
