Nesbit. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e She wrote or collaborated on more than 60 books of fiction for children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Nesbit published approximately 40 books for children, including novels, collections of stories and picture books. Collaborating with others, she published almost as many more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e According to her biographer Julia Briggs, Nesbit was \"the first modern writer for children\" \"(Nesbit) helped to reverse the great tradition of children's literature inaugurated by Lewis Carroll, George MacDonald and Kenneth Grahame, in turning away from their secondary worlds to the tough truths to be won from encounters with things-as-they-are, previously the province of adult novels.\" Briggs also credits Nesbit with having invented the children's adventure story. Noël Coward was a great admirer of hers and, in a letter to an early biographer Noel Streatfeild, wrote \"she had an economy of phrase, and an unparalleled talent for evoking hot summer days in the English countryside.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.12 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 08, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42115081699463,"sku":"9781537567709","price":13.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/0c55fd1236f91aabd64adfd629ad1cd6.webp?v=1746508365","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/grim-tales-paperback-1","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
