Product Description

Synopsis

"That going to the seaside was the very beginning of everything,- only it seemed as though it were going to be a beginning without an end, like the roads on the Sussex downs which look like roads and then look like paths, and then turn into sheep-tracks, and then are just grass and furze bushes and tottergrass and harebells and rabbits and chalk." "That going to the seaside was the very beginning of everything,- only it seemed as though it were going to be a beginning without an end, like the roads on the Sussex downs which look like roads and then look like paths, and then turn into sheep-tracks, and then are just grass and furze bushes and tottergrass and harebells and rabbits and chalk." In Nesbit's 1913 novel, Wet Magic, the children of the Desmond family -- Francis, Mavis, Bernard and Kathleen -- are looking forward to a holiday by the sea. They get more of an adventure than they had planned on, though, when they accidentally summon a mermaid. And when that mermaid is captured and put on display at a local circus, they decide they must rescue her.

As their reward, they are permitted to visit the hidden kingdom of the mer-people, but find they must now stop a war to save their new friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exciting story, 25 Feb 2003
By C. M. Collier "myopia1" (Liverpool,england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Wet Magic (Hardcover)
This is the very exciting story of Bernard,Mavis,Kathleen and Francis,and how they rescued a mermaid.They are playing on the beach when a hand comes out of the sea and grasps Francis's foot,and they hear a sweet voice say,"Save her.We die in captivity."When they get back to their lodgings they learn that a memaid has been captured and is being exhibited by a local circus,and the race is on to save her.
After this escape,there are plenty more adventures under the sea and,as usual,the original illustrations are a joy.All in all,this is another cracking E Nesbit tale.
