The Phoenix and the Carpet
by Edith Nesbit
Four children bought a magic carpet when they found a special fiery egg - it hatched in their child's fireplace. Phoenix came from the egg, and when she saw their mother's new Persian carpet, she showed them that there was something magical — a flying carpet that would take them whenever and wherever they wanted. Full of witty, truth, timeless sympathy and childlike sensuality, Phoenix and the Carpet offers a special walk in wonders for children of all ages.
