The daughter of a school teacher (John Collis Nesbit) who died in March 1862 before she was four, Edith Nesbit was born at 38 Lower Kennington Lane, Kennington, south London. Her sister Mary's ill health meant the family moved constantly for some years, living variously in Brighton, Buckinghamshire, France (locations included Dieppe, Rouen, Paris, Tours, Poitiers, Angouleme, Bordeaux, Arcachon, Pau, Bagneres de Bigorre and Dinan in Brittany), Spain and Germany, before the family settled for three years at Halstead Hall in Halstead in north-west Kent - a location which later inspired The Railway Children.
