They used to see each other on Saturdays and Sundays at the house of a kind maiden lady but it was one of those houses where it is impossible to play.

And they were at school in a little town in the West of England-the boys at one school, of course, and the girl at another, because the sensible habit of having boys and girls at the same school is not yet as common as I hope it will be some day.

Of course, Jerry's name was Gerald, and not Jeremiah, whatever you may think and Jimmy's name was James and Kathleen was never called by her name at all, but Cathy, or Catty, or Puss Cat, when her brothers were pleased with her, and Scratch Cat when they were not pleased. I would recommend this book to those who like classic fantasy or other books by Nesbit (Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet, etc.).There were three of them-Jerry, Jimmy, and Kathleen. I will leave the outcomes of those situations to the book, as well as the ending, which I will only say is a happy one with everything resolved. Both get them into such predicaments as turning invisible, accidentally wishing themselves taller and older, bringing mannequins to life, and accidentally turning into a statue and dining with members of the Greek pantheon. The girl is only the castle’s housekeeper’s niece, but the four of them soon discover that the garden really is enchanted, as is a ring that they find inside the castle. They make believe that it is enchanted, and wake a young girl sleeping there, who they pretend is a princess.

As for the summary: The Enchanted Castle is a fantasy book by Edith Nesbit about three children, who, while playing in the forest, discover a secret passageway into the garden of a castle. That can make the story difficult to follow, leaving you (or at least me, anyway) almost unable to appreciate it. (Death By Description) and it can go on for a dozen pages at a time detailing a single short event. The storyline is great and the characters are interesting, but the whole book is D.B.D. Before I start, I would like to clarify that although I DID give this book 3 stars, I probably would have given it more if it had been written in a slightly less complex manner.
