Features: The Five Children and the Monster is a fantasy novel. It depicts the story of children and the water sprite. In this work, Edith Nesbit attempts an experiment: what would happen if characters and objects from a non-real world, which originally possess extraordinary magical powers, are moved into our real world? Just as fish lose vitality and eventually die if they leave water, even though they can perform magic in the non-real world, once they are transferred to reality, their magic gradually fades, resulting in a series of tragicomedies. Because the story is set in the real world, characters and objects originally existing "outside of time in this world" from "other countries" must adapt to the local customs and environment of reality.
