Description
Digging in the gravel pit on a hot summer's day, five children stumble upon 'it': a grumpy creature with unique features. As it turns out, 'it' is a Psammead, an ancient sand-fairy who can grant the children one wish per day. However, be cautious what you wish for, as things often go awry. The children soon discover that their wishes may not bring them the happiness they expected. With the help of illustrations by H. R. Millar, newly scanned from the original edition, Five Children and It is a charming tale of childhood wonder and discovery. This first book in the Psammead trilogy sets the stage for further adventures with The Phoenix and the Carpet and The Story of the Amulet.
