The Phoenix and the Carpet

The Phoenix and the Carpet by Edith Nesbit The four children acquired the magic carpet when they found a special fire egg - it hatched in their nursery fireplace. The phoenix came from the egg, and when he saw their mother's new Persian rug, he showed them that it was a magical thing - a flying carpet that would take them any time and that place they could wish for. Witty, genuine, full of timeless sympathy and childish sensibility, The Phoenix and the Carpet offers a special ride through wonders for children of all ages.
