Description

Description from Project Gutenberg (opens in a new tab)

"The Phoenix and the Carpet" by E. Nesbit is a fantasy novel published in 1904. When five siblings accidentally destroy their nursery carpet with fireworks, their parents buy a replacement that contains a mysterious glowing egg. The egg hatches into a talking Phoenix, who reveals the carpet is magical and can grant three wishes daily. The children embark on exotic adventures across time and space, accompanied by their vain and eccentric feathered companion, though their magical gifts prove more fragile than expected.
