Description
Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and their baby brother stumble upon an unexpected companion while digging in the gravel pit - a Psammead, an ancient Sand-fairy. Having a Sand-fairy as a pet means having one wish granted each day, but the children soon discover that their wishes can lead to trouble.
The children's wishes, though well-intentioned, cause chaos and confusion in their lives. As they navigate the consequences of their desires, they learn valuable lessons about responsibility, sibling relationships and the importance of careful consideration.
This story, introduced by Quentin Blake, is a charming story about the misadventures of five siblings and their magical companion.
