Her most celebrated book remains The Railway Children, published in 1906. Her great gift was the ability to create child characters who are real young human beings behaving naturally. Her unhappy marriage gave her much experience with children; as well as bringing up her own four by her philandering husband, she consented to bring Bland's illegimate offspring into her household.

    Living and writing across the threshold of the 20th century, edith nesbit wrote poetry, romantic novels, short stories, reviews, and articles on daily life  
    http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/railway/ei_woman.html
    
    Extractions: "She was exceedingly lithe and athletic, and even after the birth of four children far more adept than the average Victorian woman in riding, swimming and running.... Dressed in aesthetic clothes, daringly corsetless, she would lie at full length on the rug before the fire with the dogs beside her so oblivious to the extreme unconventionality of her attitude that she charmed the young people, and disarmed the elderly.... Her manner was as gay and careless as a child's. Indeed she had a child's flexibility almost all her life in recovering from every possible distress..." Living and writing across the threshold of the 20th century, Edith Nesbit wrote poetry, romantic novels, short stories, reviews, and articles on daily life and politics, but it's because of her children's stories that her reputation has endured. She had the gift of seeing the world as children see it, and voicing her stories in a manner that put her young readers at ease. In stark contrast to the circumstances of her own childhood, the children she wrote about were rooted in fairly conventional middle-class families. As she writes of the railway children: "They were just ordinary, suburban children, and they lived with their father and mother in an ordinary red-brick-fronted villa." By contrast, Nesbit's father died when she was four, and she spent much of her childhood quite uprooted. As an adult, too, her family life was anything but ordinary. She wrote to help support an extended family, which included her husband, his mistress, and their combined six children.

    Extractions: (The Despot, 25-28) The Despot In Trouble Born in London but educated in convents on the Continent and in England, Edith Nesbit started out as a writer of stories. In 1880, seven months pregnant, she married Hubert Bland, a founding member of the Fabian Society when it was founded four years later. Caught in a marriage with four children and infidelities on both sides, and with the main responsibility for income, Nesbit wrote commercial novels and stories, but she continued to produce volumes of poetry in hope of literary acclaim. Success arrived with her children's books, especially the Bastable novels ( The Story of the Treasure-Seekers Would-be-Goods , and The New Treasure-seekers ) and The Railway Children (1906). By this time she and Bland has converted to Roman Catholicism. Three years after Bland's death in 1914, Nesbit married Thomas Terry Tucker. She died of cancer in Jesson St. Mary's, Kent. Biographies include Doris Moore's

    Extractions: Send it to a friend! Edith Nesbit was born on 19th August 1858. She and her brothers and sisters were brought up in an agricultural college in London. The college was surrounded by a meadow where Edith and her siblings would often play. Edith's father died when she was just four. The family remained in London for four more years, but then Edith was sent to boarding schools in first Brighton and then Stamford. She hated the schools very much and in September 1867, her mother agreed she could accompany her and her sisters, to France, where they travelled widely. Sadly, Edith's sister Mary died, and when Edith was fourteen they all returned to England. The family rented Halstead Hall in Kent, and this was the home where Edith and her brothers used to play near the railway line - a memory which became the inspiration for her book, "The Railway Children." When she was seventeen, Edith and her mother moved to Islington in London and two years later she married the socialist writer, Hubert Bland. The couple had two children.
