About E. Nesbit

Edith Nesbit was born in 1858 into a middle-class family of declining fortunes. After surviving a tough and nomadic childhood she met her husband Hubert Bland in 1877 and married him three years later whilst pregnant with their first child. Nesbit began writing in the 1880s when Bland's business failed forcing her to support their growing family. Considered one of the first modern writers for children Nesbits novels included The Story of The Treasure Seekers (1899) Five Children and It (1902) and The Railway Children (1906). An ardent socialist Nesbit was one of the founding members of the Fabian Society. She died in Kent in 1924.
