About this book
Wet Magic by Edith Nesbit whisks listeners to a turn-of-the-century English seaside where ordinary children discover extraordinary myths beneath the waves. Bernard, Mavis, Kathleen and Francis—already beloved from Nesbit’s earlier tales—find an old aquarium, an accidental charm, and a doorway into a shimmering world of mermen, mermaids, kings, queens and princesses.
Blending gentle humor, Edwardian charm and timeless wonder, Wet Magic unfolds as a children's fantasy steeped in myths and legends. Nesbit weaves themes of imagination, courage, friendship and the curious consequences of meddling with unknown powers, all while keeping the tone warm and adventurous. The seaside setting becomes a character itself: salt air, tide pools and secret rescues set the stage for discoveries both magical and moral, without ever losing the story’s lighthearted spirit.
Ideal for fans of classic children’s literature, listeners who love mermaid lore, and families seeking an enchanting audiobook adventure. Whether you grew up with Nesbit or are meeting her for the first time, Wet Magic offers a delightful plunge into seaside myth and old-fashioned wonder.
