Yes, I love E. Nesbit! My early childhood was based almost entirely around the triumvirate of:
1. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 2. Half-Magic 3. Five Children and It
...and I just recently convinced two characters to have sex based upon the fact that they had both read The Enchanted Castle. (Original fiction--I don't save all my strangeness just for fanfic!)
Have you ever read her short story "Man-Size in Marble"? It's possibly the creepiest thing I have ever read ever.
I don't know how I managed to miss Knight's Castle; I must see if the Barnes & Noble where I work carries it, and then maybe I'll get brave enough to participate in Yuletide this year...
