Edith Nesbit Bland (1858-1924) was a British author, activist and poet, who published an extensive amount of children’s books under the pen name “E. Nesbit”, which are still widely read today. Amongst her most famous novels are “The Railway Children,” “The Story of the Treasure Seekers,” and “Five Children and It”.
