Or even your real name. E. Nesbit is really Edith Nesbit, who wrote more than 100 novels, plays and poetry collections for children and adults between 1885 and 1923. This year marks the 160th anniversary of her birth and this new biography reveals how Nesbit's colourful private life influenced her writing, from a love affair with George Bernard Shaw to the bohemian parties with H.G. Wells to the death of her son aged just fifteen. With a foreword by best-selling author Dame Jacqueline Wilson, the book shows how J.K Rowling was influenced by Nesbit and includes interviews with Jenny Agutter and Bernard Cribbins, who appeared in the beloved 1970 film of The Railway Children"--Publisher's description. 600 10 $a Nesbit, E. $q (Edith), $d 1858-1924. 600 17 $a Nesbit, E. $q (Edith), $d 1858-1924. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00149734 650 0 $a Women authors, English $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Authors, English $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 7 $a Authors, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821945 650 7 $a Women authors, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177253 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021013520.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=939026D0462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
