Five Children And It: Edith Nesbit

This beautiful HarperCollins Children`s Classics edition of E. Nesbit`s Five Children and It is the perfect addition to any bookshelf.
When Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and their baby brother move to the countryside, they encounter `It` - a grumpy, strange-looking Sand-fairy known as a Psammead.

The Psammead can grant the children one wish every day - but whether they request to be beautiful or rich, to fly or live in a castle, it seems every wish is destined to lead the five children into a great deal of trouble . . .

This classic fantasy adventure from the author of The Railway Children is full of magic and mishaps, bringing to life the saying `be careful what you wish for`.
