Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- The Story of the Amulet is about Cyril, Anthea, Robert, and Jane, the same four children who are featured in Five Children and It (the fifth child was their baby brother) and The Phoenix and the Carpet. One of a series of children's books written in the 1900's by Nesbit, focusing on four siblings and a rather extraordinary creature called a Psammead. During the war, Cyril, Robert, Anthea, and Jane are left in the care of their kindly old nurse while their mother is away recuperating from illness and their father is a war correspondent. The siblings resolve to make the best of a bad situation, but on their first day exploring the twisted streets of London they happen upon their old friend, the sand-fairy Psammead (a cantankerous creature like a dilapidated monkey with bat ears and snail eyes). They rescue him from the hands of a pet shop owner, and in return the Psammead tells them a tale of a magic amulet that, when put together, will grant the bearer their hearts' desire. The children resolve to put the pieces of the amulet back together, but in order to do that they must go on an amazing adventure through time itself. It is funny and adventurous and truly fabulous for reading aloud. For any of you who love a good time travel story, this one is for you! Scroll Up and Grab Your Copy! Also by E.

The story of the Amulet involves four siblings that have been in other books by Nesbit. It is an adventiure story involing an enchanted amulet which will grant wishes. The children found only half the amulet and therefore cannot make many wishes until the amulet is whole again. The Children travel back in time with an old friend to find the other half of the charm. It is a delightful book. The dialog keeps your attention as does the plot, which of course has many twisits and turns. I would highly recomend this book and all of Nesbits books if you are a fan of comedy, adventure, action and mystery.
