How did I not find these when I was 8-9? I loved Edward Eager, and E. Nesbit was clearly a HUGE influence on his writing. The tone & the children are so similar. Also - 4 siblings in the early 1900's? Totally up my alley.

Sadly, reading it now kinda ruined the magic. I did like how pretty much every wish ended poorly and with the children going without supper. I would consider this a light summer read aloud book for the 6-8 yr old set.
