Il castello incantato

The blend of everyday life with magic feels so seamless in this story. I'm curious what inspired the author to imagine a castle that comes alive for children.

Their playful interactions and loyalty made the story really warm. I wonder if Nesbit based these characters on her own childhood experiences.

The enchantment is playful rather than dark, which keeps it light and fun. I’d love to hear thoughts on what gives it that classic fairy-tale feel.
