About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Nine Unlikely Tales for Children, by E. Nesbit. Read by Cori Samuel. Nine original and, yes, unlikely fairy-tales, which include stories of the arithmetic fairy, the king who became a charming villa-residence and the dreadful automatic nagging machine. All are classic-Nesbit: charming, novel and not afraid to squeeze in a moral or two -- told with proper fairy-tale style. (Summary by Cori)
