Edith Nesbit (1858 – 1924) was an English poet and author. She is
perhaps best remembered for her children's literature, publishing more
than 60 such books under the name E. Nesbit. She was also a political
activist and co-founded the Fabian Society, which had a significant
influence on the Labour Party and British politics in general.
“Harding's Luck” is the 1909 sequel to Nesbit's 1908 novel “The
House of Arden”. It tells the story of Dickie Harding, an orphan who
must use a crutch due to an injured leg. Despite his father having
given him an old toy as a good luck charm, Dickie appears to be very
much lacking in the good luck department. However, the discovery of a
moon-flower which contains magical seeds throws him into a world of
magic, romance, suspense, sacrifice, and triumph over adversity. Many
vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and
expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this
volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete
with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
