"Edith Nesbits (1858-1924) spökhistorier måste betraktas som något av det bästa i genren än idag /.../ Föreliggande samling innehåller fyra mycket välskrivna noveller, som alla kretsar kring märkliga händelser med dödlig utgång." BTJ om Skuggan (häfte 2024:10)
I novellen Skuggan samlas en grupp flickor en sen kväll för att berätta spökhistorier för varandra, men det är hushållerskan, miss Eastwich, som kommer med det märkligaste bidraget. Hon berättar om ett besök hon en gång gjorde hos sin ungdomskärlek, en man som blivit övertygad om att ett ont väsen finns i huset och förföljer hans hustru. Ska miss Eastwich få uppleva samma hemskheter som han under sitt besök? Eller har han blivit galen?
Med sin på samma gång lättillgängliga och djuplodande stil har den brittiska författaren Edith Nesbit (1858-1924) skrivit flera barnböcker som blivit tidlösa klassiker, bland annat Järnvägsbarnen och Huset Ardens gåta. Hon har även skrivit böcker för äldre läsare, och i denna volym samlas några av hennes mest välkända skräckberättelser. Förutom "Skuggan" ingår även "Mörkret", "Nummer 17" och "Mysteriet med parhuset".
LÄTTLÄSTA KLASSIKER är en serie för ungdomar och vuxna där klassiker i novellformat varsamt har bearbetats till lättillgängliga berättelser, skrivna av berömda författare genom tiderna. I slutet av varje del finns en kortare biografi över författaren, samt mer information om de utvalda novellerna.

Roberta, Phyllis and Peter have their comfortable lives in London thrown into disarray by the unexpected disappearance of their father. They are forced to move to a small cottage in the countryside with their mother, who struggles to make ends meet by writing books. The children find solace in a stretch of railway track and the station nearby, and befriend the railway porter, who teaches them about running the station, and an old gentleman who takes the 9.15 train every day. Through this love of the trains they are led on many exciting adventures, including a quest to discover the secret of their father’s disappearance.One of the most popular children’s books ever written, E. Nesbit’s tale has enchanted generations of readers since it was first released in 1906. It has been adapted for the screen and the stage many times, and its story of innocence, intrigue and discovery remains perfectly poignant today.

When Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and their baby brother start exploring a gravel pit not far from their new countryside home, they make an unexpected and very curious discovery. The gravel pit is home to a Psammead, a sand fairy. This ugly creature has eyes like a snail, ears like a bat and the body of a spider, and is very grumpy indeed. He grants the children one wish every day, and though they are excited to have all their desires fulfilled, they soon realize that having one’s wishes come true can have unexpected consequences…E. Nesbit’s much loved children’s tale has enchanted generations of readers, and has been adapted for the screen numerous times – most notably by the BBC in a hugely popular 1990s series. It remains one of the most cherished children’s classics ever written, and an indispensable part of every young reader’s library.

When Cyril, Anthea, Robert and Jane accidentally destroy a carpet in their London home with fireworks, their parents replace it with a second-hand one. Upon unfurling it, the children find an egg inside, and, when one of them accidentally drops it into the fire, it hatches into a magical golden phoenix, who tells them that he can take them on the carpet to any location they wish. This revelation sets the siblings – and their baby brother Lamb – off on wild adventures, taking them around London and to far-flung destinations such as India and a remote tropical island.After the success of Five Children and It, E. Nesbit decided to recast its much-loved characters in this sequel, which has now become a classic in its own right, enchanting generations of readers and inspiring many film and television adaptations.

When Cyril, Anthea, Robert and Jane find the Psammead, a magical sand fairy, in a pet shop in London, they have no idea that they are about to embark on their greatest adventure yet. The Psammead leads them to an Egyptian amulet that has the power to grant whatever their hearts desire. The problem is that the amulet is broken, and the other half – needed if their wishes are to be granted – is lost. Yet with their half of the amulet able to transport them through time, the children set out on a search for the missing half, and the realization of their wildest dreams…From an encounter with Julius Caesar to a visit of the lost city of Atlantis, The Story of the Amulet – the final instalment in the Psammead Trilogy – is an unforgettable tale of magic and time travel that has been loved by children and parents alike for more than a century.

"Edith Nesbits (1858-1924) spökhistorier måste betraktas som något av det bästa i genren än idag." BTJ
Ett ungt, nygift par bosätter sig på en liten gård ute på landet, inte långt ifrån byns gamla kyrka. Allt verkar fridfullt, men snart börjar hushållerskans prat om en urgammal förbannelse kopplad till gården och kyrkan att väcka mannens nyfikenhet. I kyrkan finns två stora marmorstatyer av forna riddare, lagda till vila på varsin stenbädd. Under en nattlig promenad upptäcker mannen att statyerna är försvunna, och spåren leder tillbaka till gården. Är Laura, hans hustru, i fara?
En gotisk skräckhistoria om kärlek, rädsla och gamla förbannelser av Edith Nesbit, vars barnböcker i dag räknas som tidlösa klassiker. Denna oavkortade volym är varsamt bearbetad till ett modernare språk och avslutas med en biografi över författaren, samt mer information om berättelsen.

Han förde mig in i den gröna vagnen. "Ni kommer att få se besynnerliga saker", sade den gamle. Vid dessa ord upplystes rummet av ett klart men blodigt sken. Stödda mot väggarna stod hela rader av lik, gula, hemska, vanställda. Några gapskrattade, andra vred sig i dödsryckningar; några var nakna, andra i rika dräkter. Halvnakna häxor red på bockskelett, fasliga gnomer hakade sig fast i väggarna; över deras huvudskallar skakade en vampyr sina fantastiska vingar. Hela denna vidunderliga värld av orörliga och döda skuggbilder såg ut att vilja skrika och flyga. Ihåliga munnar och tomma ögongropar brann som om blodflammor rann i deras ådror. "Nog!" skrek jag. "Nog, för guds skull!" 30 klassiska rysare samlas här i en antologi fullmatad med fasor, övernaturliga mysterier och gravlika stämningar. Skräckens klassiker samsas sida vid sida med nyupptäckta häxmästare. Och inga av dessa noveller har översatts till svenska i modern tid -- allt kommer att vara lika fräscht och nytt för läsaren som en exklusiv, vällagrad mögelost!
