7 / 10 7 / 10 Charming series by Helen Cresswell of Moondial, The Secret World of Polly Flint etc. It's a tribute to the work of the great E. Nesbit, pioneer of realistic fictional depictions of children and of low fantasy -- mind you, Edward Eager was also a great admirer of Nesbit's, and he used her inspiration to create not spinoffs but low fantasies set in the time and place he knew, such as the wonderful Half Magic. As Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet and the later standalone The Enchanted Castle have all been given TV series, it's a pity that The Story of the Amulet, the third book in the trilogy, never has been. For that matter, why hasn't Half Magic?
