CHILDREN'S author Dame Jacqueline Wilson was joined by the BBC's Simon Mayo in Eltham for the unveiling of sculptures representing the classic works of E Nesbit.
Ms Nesbit, whose works include The Railway Children, lived at Well Hall from 1899 to 1922 where it is believed she dreamt up many of her much-loved characters.
Statues - comissioned by the Friends of Well Hall Pleasaunce - include a dragon, the phoenix from The Phoenix and the Carpet and the Psammead from Five Children and It.
Mr Mayo has started publishing children's books of his own while Dame Jacqueline recently paid her own tribute to the write with her own book Four Children and It.
She said: "I adored E Nesbit's books as a child – and I liked her lifestyle too. She liked Liberty clothes, silver jewellery and buns for tea, and so do I."
Youngsters from nearby Gordon Primary School also attended the launch.
