This study intends to investigate Edith Nesbit’s Psammead Trilogy as including her social activities as a member of the Fabian Society as well as lessons for children. Psammead trilogy comprises Five Children and It (1902), The Phoenix and the Carpet (1904), and The story of the Amulet (1906); the fantasy of these novels dreams of a better world brought by magical change while criticizing life in British society. The three volumes feature middle-class children crossing socio-economic boundaries with the magic of Psammead, a phoenix, a carpet, and an amulet and traveling through history and culture. Nesbit uses magical adventure to criticize her contemporary society, which is based on socio-economic inequality. She then suggests a future utopian society that would eliminate the ugliness of poverty and rise above the standard of high beauty. However, this city is a virtual society that only exists in the future: as a realistic alternative, she concludes the story with the revival of the family unit-an ideal upheld by the middle class, from which the Fabian Society originated.
