Even though so many British children’s authors become popular in the US, I never heard of or saw any books by E. Nesbit until I lived abroad. Does anyone know why her books are not famous or popular in the US? Was Nesbit’s socialism a factor? I was wondering if it’s because they were too “British,” but then again, if we read Anna Sewell, Robert Lewis Stevenson, Lewis Carroll, etc., why would the British content in Nesbit’s books be a problem?
