POPSUGAR Reading Challenge 2018: A book with a female author who uses a male pseudonym. I didn't have an actual male pseudonym author to call on from my TBR list so this is the closest I could get; using an initial is also a common practice by female authors to hide their gender.

A mixed bag, but overall these stories are sweet, charming and whimsical without being too saccharine. Nesbit has an excellent way of depicting the difficulties of being a child in an adult world, especially making what adults judge to be mistakes when you were just playing or trying to help.

Short stories by Nesbit. Nice enough, but none of them really stuck out as fantastic.
