Edith Nesbit wurde als Tochter eines Lehrers (John Collis Nesbit), der bereits im M¤rz 1862 starb, an der Lower Kennington Lane 38 in Kennington, S¼d- London , geboren. Die schlechte Gesundheit ihrer Schwester Mary f¼hrte dazu, dass die Familie w¤hrend einiger Jahre dauernd umzog; sie lebte in Brighton Buckinghamshire Frankreich Spanien und Deutschland , bis die Familie sich f¼r drei Jahre in Halstead in Nordwest- Kent niederliess - eine –rtlichkeit, die sp¤ter The Railway Children inspirierte. Die Familie zog erneut um, als Nesbit 17 Jahre alt war, nun zur¼ck nach London. Als Anh¤ngerin von William Morris traf die 19j¤hrige Nesbit den Bankangestellten Hubert Bland im Jahre 1877. Sie heiratete Bland am 22. April 1880, als sie im siebten Monat schwanger war. Jedoch lebte sie anschlieŸend nicht sogleich mit Bland zusammen, der anf¤nglich weiter bei seiner Mutter wohnte.

   Extractions: Edith Nesbit The Fields of Flanders Last year the fields were all glad and gay With silver daisies and silver may; There were kingcups gold by the river's edge And primrose stars under every hedge. This year the fields are trampled and brown, The hedges are broken and beaten down, And where the primroses used to grow Are little black crosses set in a row. And the flower of hopes, and the flowers of dreams, The noble, fruitful, beautiful schemes, The tree of life with its fruit and bud, Are trampled down in the mud and the blood. The changing seasons will bring again The magic of Spring to our wood and plain; Though the Spring be so green as never was seen The crosses will still be black in the green. The God of battles shall judge the foe Who trampled our country and laid her low. . . . God! hold our hands on the reckoning day, Lest all we owe them we should repay.

    Extractions: Edith Nesbit (The Early Years) 1858 TO 1875 Edith Nesbit, an enigma, a rebel, a flawed diamond... Edith has been cast as all of these things and others.To truly come to know her character, it is essential to learn of the events, people and places which all took their part in it's shaping. Born on August 15th 1858 to Sarah and John Collis Nesbit, Edith was the youngest child with two brothers, Henry (known as Harry) and Alfred, she had one sister Mary and one half-sister Sarah (Known as Saretta). The family was living at an agricultural college (started by Edith's grandfather some seventeen years before) at 38, Lower Kennington Lane, London. This was a period remembered by Edith as an "Eden", a time of security and happiness. The house stood in about three acres of land with a meadow that Edith (now known as "Daisy"), Alfred and Harry would often play in. In March 1862, Edith's father, John Nesbit, an agricultural chemist and teacher, took ill at a friend's house and afterwards died quite suddenly, aged 43. Sarah Nesbit and her family remained at the college for a further four years until her daughter Mary was advised by a physician to move near to the sea air to help ease her illness (tuberculosis). Thus began some six years of an almost nomadic existence. The family first moved to Western Road in Brighton Sussex and Edith was sent to Mrs Arthur's school as a weekly boarder, which Edith hated most ardently. However, the Measles put a swift end to her torment and the family went to Buckinghamshire for a holiday. Edith later wrote: "I shall never forget the sense of rest and delight that filled my small heart when I slipped out under the rustic porch at five o' clock the first morning, and felt the cool velvet turf under my feet. Here there were royal red roses, and jasmine, and tall white lilies, and in the hedge by the gate, sweet-briar and deep-cupped white convolvulus".

    Extractions: Advanced Search Edith Nesbit (1858–1924) , English author and poet wrote the children's novel The Railway Children Nesbit lived a colourful and active life while writing many poems, plays, short stories, fiction and non-fiction, but some of her most enduring works are her children's stories. With elements of fantasy, time travel and spies, fairy tales and magic, they are a reflection of her idyllic childhood days and travels through England, France, and Germany. The Railway Children inspired television and film adaptations. Edith Nesbit was born on 15 August 1858 in London, England, the daughter of Sarah and John Collis Nesbit. Her first handful of years were spent with her two brothers and sisters at the family agricultural college. After the sudden death of her father, and one of her sister's ill health, they lived in various parts of the country before young Edith was sent to boarding school. After a bitter experience there the family travelled throughout France, and Edith attended school there and in Germany, often plagued by homesickness. In 1871 the Nesbits settled at Halstead Hall in Kent, England. The next few years were a source of many happy memories and influences on Nesbit's future writing. Adventures in and around the local pond, the surrounding gardens, investigating secret passageways in their home, and walking down the railway tracks that crossed the back fields with her brothers were events she would later develop in her popular stories for children. She was already flexing her vivid imagination in the poems she started to write around the age of fourteen.
