Summary

The trilogy of Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet, and The Story of the Amulet, all involving the same family and their encounters with the magical being The Psammead, proved one of the most popular of Edith Nesbit's books. This text centers around the purchase of an ancient amulet that can grant them their heart's desire - the return of their parents - but which first sets them on a journey through time to ancient Babylon, Egypt, and Atlantis. Anna Bentinck's engaging reading captures the excitement and tension of the text.

Not complete

This version of The Story of The Amulet is ABRIDGED. Please tell your listeners this. Some lovely passages are missing.
I have stopped listening to it and have bought the complete version. I live E. Nesbit and am sad that many listeners have not been given the choice to hear the full version.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
