Nine Unlikely Tales by E. Nesbit audiobook. Genre: fantasy Nine Unlikely Tales is a sparkling collection of nine offbeat fairy stories from E. Nesbit, where the ordinary rules of everyday life are cheerfully overturned and logic is treated as just another plaything. In one tale, practical little Matilda and her no-nonsense nurse, Pridmore, take a wrong turn and tumble into a village of impossible surprises, complete with a bewitched royal court and a wonderfully troublesome bird called the Cockatoucan. Elsewhere, a living bouncing ball named Whereyouwantogoto ricochets through wishes and consequences, while other stories introduce an arithmetic fairy who insists sums can change the world, a prince whose fate is tangled up with two mice and a busy kitchen, and a town hidden inside a library that becomes more real the deeper you look. With quick wit, sly moral twists, and a fondness for children who question grown-up certainty, Nesbit invites listeners into miniature worlds where transformation is always one misunderstanding away and imagination is the most powerful kind of magic.
