4-6Books of Wonder series.
Illustrated by
H. R. Millar.
The Magic City and Wet Magic, originally published in 1910 and 1913, respectively, were Nesbit's last novels. Though generally considered of lesser quality than her classic fantasies, these stories contain plenty of her trademark magic and adventure. These editions are issued with Millar's original black-and-white drawings and new jacket art by Paul O. Zelinsky. Both volumes include an afterword.
