About this book
A small collection of Edith Nesbit's short stories; the pleasures and troubles of life laid out in a few pages.
Note: The title of the third story comes from the sign that was above the emergency handle in each railway compartment, which read something like "Penalty for improper use; not exceeding £5". - Summary by Peter Yearsley
