伊迪丝·内斯比特Edith Nesbit (1858-1924)英国儿符档童故事和小说作家，"巴斯塔布尔家族杠员朵"的创造者，也是富有喜剧性幻想作品风格的《五个孩子和它》(Five Children and It)、《凤凰与地毯》(The Phoenix and the Carpet)、《护身符的故事》(The Story of of Amulet)的作者。
伊迪丝出版过包括各种文体在内的一百来部书，她一直看好她为成人写的作品，尤其是诗歌，但最终她是在儿童文学创作方面大获成功、名声远播，欧亚诸国纷纷译介她的代表作。伊迪丝的第一部儿童文学作品出版于1890年，是本儿童诗集，叫《两季的歌》。她的儿童文学创作大体分两类:一类是小说，写现实生活的家庭冒险故事，代表作是描述关于巴斯塔布儿一家的《寻宝六人组合》(1899)《闯祸的快乐少年》、《想做好孩子》和《铁路边的孩子》(1906)，这类作品中儿童性格刻画鲜明，家庭生活描写真切动人;另一类是童话，神奇故事，这类作品更为著名，代表作有《五个孩子和一个怪物》(1902)、《沙妖》(1903)、《不死鸟(凤凰)和飞毯》(1904)以及《四个孩子和一个护身符》(1906)等。这些故事悬念重重、曲折离奇、想象丰富、却理趣结合，给孩子以如临其境、真实可信的感觉。
