If you love good kids' lit -- as I do, passionately -- then you owe it to yourself to find everything you can by Edith Nesbit, if you haven't discovered her already (The Story of the Treasure Seekers, the New Treasure Seekers, The Wouldbegoods, The Magic City, The Magic World, Wet Magic, The Railroad Children, Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet, The Story of the Amulet, The Enchanted Castle, Melisande, The Book of Dragons, The Book of Beasts, The House of Arden, Harding's Luck, Fairy Tales...). She's usually published under "E. Nesbit." And the only (admittedly weak) way I can think of to make this clothing related is that she was very atypical in the way she dressed for her time (Victorian) -- loose gowns, no corset, short hair -- and she smoked like a chimney!

And it's made me realize that I analyze children's literature WAY too much. Bice off to get a better hobby>> But children's lit is FUN! Think about it--Anne, The Phantom Tollbooth, The NeverEnding Story (another one where the movies truly STUNK), Narnia, Grimm's Fairy Tales... I LOVE children's books!
