The best written by English writer Edith Nesbit - fairy tales . Nesbit expands the traditional framework of the genre, introducing elements of detective, mythology and science fiction into the tale. The writer often transfers the action of her works to an environment familiar to readers, her characters live and act surrounded by modern everyday realities. It is this intertwining of everyday life and the eternal magic of a fairy tale that gives Nesbit fairy tales a subtle humor and a unique flavor. In the fairy tale "Billy the King" kings become hired. And what is most funny, the flow of "frames" is quite strong, from which the prime ministers go crazy, and the kings, since taking office, receive the whole set of knowledge at once - because there is simply no time for their training.
