t is an enchanted castle,” said Gerald in hollow tones.

“But there aren’t any,” Jimmy was quite positive.
“How do you know? Do you think there’s nothing in the world but what you’ve seen?” His scorn was crushing.
After the realism of The Railway Children, Edith Nesbit decided to return to the worlds of magic and fantasy and wishes that go quite, quite wrong. It was a wise choice: loaded with sly references to other fairy tales, books and history, The Enchanted Castle, despite some awkward moments here and there, is one of Nesbit’s best books, consistently amusing, with just a hint—a hint—of terror for those who need to be just a little bit frightened. (In my own case, this made me read eagerly on.) If for some reason you still haven’t picked up a Nesbit novel, this is an excellent place to start.
Like some of Nesbit’s other novels, The Enchanted Castle begins with three children facing nearly guaranteed boredom during a summer vacation from school. Fortunately, some mild trickery allows them to spend their summer holidays, right near Castle Yardling, with its elaborate and delightful gardens and fairy tale atmosphere. Since the three children, Gerald, Kathleen, and Jimmy, were already deep into a game of Let’s Pretend (Gerald adds to this by almost constantly framing himself as a hero from any of a number of popular books), they have no problem falling into the fantasy that they have just found an enchanted princess in the castle garden.
They do have a few more problems once they realize that although the princess may not be quite enchanted, something in the castle certainly is.
Nesbit repeats many of her beloved themes here: wishes can go spectacularly wrong; explaining adventures to skeptical adults can be difficult indeed; magic is less enjoyable than you would think, especially when you are having to deal with its various unexpected effects. (In particular, going invisible, getting taller, and having, to follow half monsters through downtown London to save a sibling, when you’re hungry.) Her children in this case have decidedly more distinct personalities than any she had created since the Bastable books, and, although I rarely say this, it’s entirely possible that a few of them might have done just a little too much reading. Gerald, the oldest, happily narrates—out loud—the adventures the children are having, to their exasperation; Kathleen makes several assumptions based on the tales she has read, and on her very real desire to find out that magic and stories are real. Jimmy is considerably less adventurous, and wants to make sure that nobody forgets the food; and Mabel—whose identity I shall leave you to discover—is able to cheerfully rattle off stories based on the various books she’s read, adding her own highly imaginative touch—an ability that turns out to be quite helpful indeed.
Once again, Nesbit cannot resist leaving economic issues out of her fantasy, although in this case, she is primarily concerned with the issues of the very upper class, and her economic discussions are considerably toned down from earlier books. The owner of the castle, a certain Lord Yardling, does not have enough money to actually live in it, or marry the woman he’s in love with, and is therefore thinking of renting out the castle to a wealthy, gun-toting American—an echo of the very real wealthy Americans that happily bought or rented out castles or married aristocrats in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. A passage dealing with some hideous Ugly-Wuglies allows Nesbit to take some well-aimed shots at British upper class society and the investor class. And once again, Nesbit shows women needing to make their own living—Mademoiselle, who thanks to cheating relatives and bad investments has been forced to begin working as a teacher, and a housekeeper needing to support a young niece, creatively finding ways to stretch money and cleaning supplies.
Answer:
The challenges and how they overcomed them.
Explanation:
Problem 1 = The Children were not able to go to the centre of the Maze.
Solved = They found a String that led them to the centre.
Problem 2 = They realized that the princess was not actually Enchanted and nor was she a Princess. She was playing tricks on them by telling them that she had an enchanted ring that could make herself dissappear.
Solved = The princess wore the Ring she was talking about and told them to close their eyes, she hid. but she realized that she actually turned Invisible!.
she admitted that she is not a princess, she is Mabel, The maid's niece. they started to solve that problem. however, they got to know that the princess isn't actually Enchanted nor is she a princess.
Problem 3 = Mabel didn't know how to turn back to visible..!?
Solved = After Mabel ACTUALLY turned Invisible while doing the trick she wasn't able to remove her Ring. the children couldn't help her as they had school, so Mabel went with them. they thought of something! Jerry changed his looks and pretended to be from India and started playing tricks, Mabel was helping him, a while later, Mabel took off her Ring and put it on Jerry. Another Trick!? now Jerry was Invisible. Therefore, Mabel was visible again, she went back to her castle.
Problem 4 = Now Jerry was Invisible!
Solved = The Children went home. Nanny asked them that where was Jerry, Jimmy told that he had a headache, Kathleen(Kathy) told that he doesn't eat when he has a Headache. both were True.
Problem 5 = The Wishing Ring would work for a Short time.
Solved = Jimmy wished he wanted to be Rich, the wish became true, he became old and rich, so he went to London. he didn't know that the wish was for a short time, he would become poor and lost in London but Jerry came with him and took him back.
