      This time the children from "Five Children and It" and "The Phoenix and the Carpet" are traveling through time with the help of a magic amulet. As always, E. Nesbit is a wonderful storyteller, and the children's adventures are interesting and amusing. They travel back 8000 years, visit Babylon, see the destruction of Atlantis, meet Julius Caesar, as well as other adventures, all in order to get their heart's desire, which was the quick return of their parents from a trip away from home. A lovely book.
    • 5/5
      Of all Nesbit's book, I think the Five Children series (Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet, The Story of the Amulet) are among my favorites, second only to The Magic City.
    • 4/5
      Featuring the "Five Children" from The Five Children and It. A childhood favorite, I have reread this book at least a half dozen times. Pretty much everything by E. Nesbit is worth a look or three.
