    The Magic World is an influential collection of twelve short stories by E. Nesbit. It was first published in book form in 1912 by Macmillan and Co. Ltd., with illustrations by H. R. Millar and Gerald Spencer Pryse. The stories, previously printed in magazines (like Blackie's Children's Annual), are typical of Nesbit's arch, ironic, clever fantasies for children.

    The twelve stories in the collection are:

    "The Cat-hood of Maurice" — a boy abuses the family cat, and learns to see things from the feline point of view.
    "The Mixed Mine" — two boys find a magic spyglass, and use it to make their fortunes.
    "Accidental Magic" — Quentin falls asleep on the altarstone at Stonehenge, and wakes in Atlantis.
    "The Princess and the Hedge-pig" — King Ozymandias and Queen Eliza plan a secret christening for their Princess Ozyliza, to avoid a wicked fairy's curse. Things go awry.
    "Septimus Septimusson" — he is the seventh son of a seventh son, who can see fairies and hear the beasts speak; and he must seek his fortune.
    "The White Cat" — a boy finds a china ornament in the attic; it proves to be a magic talisman.
    "Belinda and Bellamant" — they are a princess and prince suffering curses; a talking bat helps resolve their problems.
    "Justnowland" — Elsie visits a magic land of giant crows, and a dragon.
    "The Related Muff" — a sensitive boy, dismissed as a "muff" by his cousins, proves himself a hero in a crisis.
    "The Aunt and Amabel" — a girl enters a magic world through a wardrobe.
    "Kenneth and the Carp" — unjustly accused, a boy transforms into a fish and redeems his honor.
    "The Magician's Heart" — an evil magician distributes curses at royal christenings. Complications ensue.
