Blog 5A: Anticipating The Phoenix and the Carpet
The Phoenix and the Carpet, written by E. Nesbit, is actually the second book in a trilogy to Five Children and It. This book seems as though it will focus more on the magic aspect of fantasy. The back of the book did not have that much information as to what the book is about. It makes a reference to a magic carpet, but little is explained in reference to characters.
Because I was unable to find a lot of information on the book I looked it up online and found that the book was written in 1904, more than 100 years ago. There are five main characters in the book, and the book follows the adventures of these characters. The story focuses around this carpet that was ruined in a fire, and was then replaced and found to have magic powers. This magic carpet has the power to transport the children anywhere they want and grants then three, and only three wishes a day.
In conclusion, I think this book will be a quick read. Judging from the length of the book and the setup of the chapters, this book will hopefully be another interesting book that will be a fun read.
