Day after day Philip goes on with his building, putting into it almost everything you can think of.
He makes steps of the dominoes, and a terrace of the domino-box. He gets bits of wood from the garden to stick into cotton-reels, which make lovely pots – and the results look like ornamental trees in tubs. Brass finger-bowls serve for domes – and the lids of brass kettles and coffee-pots make minarets of dazzling splendour!
It is a city – a fabulous, exotic, miniature city! Just to look upon it seemed magical enough – but even Philip had no clue just how magical it might turn out to be.
Edith Nesbit (1858-1924) is considered the first to write fantasy for children with a modern sensibility, giving inspiration to such others as Charles Williams and C.S. Lewis.
