Well, no. I would never, ever have thought of Nesbit in connection with Trevor; the tone is entirely different. In fact, Rowling herself is a lot more like Nesbit than Trevor is. The only authors who seem at all like Trevor to me are Boston and (a little bit) Madeleine Polland. Trevor writes serious family stories with mystical/spiritual tone and (in this book only, so far as I know) a fantasy element. Nesbit I tend to think of as writing humorous fantasies with a realist/social component. She's not particularly spiritual and not in the least a romantic, IMHO. On the other hand, though I read quite a bit of Nesbit as a kid (and even a young adult), I haven't read the work you mention.
