Description
The Psammead, with its unique appearance, is a grumpy but endearing creature. It has long horns like a snail's eyes, bat-like ears, and a body shaped like a spider's, covered in thick, soft fur. This magical being can grant wishes, but each one often comes with an unexpected twist. When the five children befriend the Psammead, they discover that its gifts are not always as straightforward as they seem. A wish for golden guineas proves difficult to spend, while wings may bring more problems than solutions. Similarly, wishing for Red Indians can lead to unintended consequences. This charming story has been loved by generations of children, who appreciate its whimsical fantasy and timeless themes. This beautifully illustrated edition brings the story to life with its engaging narrative and delightful characters.
