Summary "The Story of the Amulet" by E. Nesbit is a children's fantasy novel written during the early 20th century. The book follows four children—Cyril, Robert, Anthea, and Jane—who embark on magical adventures through time with the help of a mystical creature known as the Psammead. The excitement begins when they reunite with the Psammead after having previously made wishes that led to enchanting but troublesome experiences, and their journey this time revolves around recovering a lost amulet. The opening of the story sets the stage for these adventures by detailing the children's feelings of separation and longing when left with their Nurse while their parents are away. Anthea suggests a trip to St. James's Park to escape their gloomy surroundings, which leads them to rediscover the Psammead in a pet shop and ultimately aim to procure a mysterious half-amulet. The narrative not only introduces themes of adventure and sibling camaraderie but also highlights the children's emotional struggles in a world filled with magic. Each character's personality begins to emerge as they navigate challenges, setting a delightful premise for the adventures to unfold in the past. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
