Five Children and It

Synopsis

When cyril, anthea, robert, jane and their baby brother go digging in the gravel pit, the last thing they expect to find is a psammead – an ancient sand-fairy! Having a sand-fairy for a pet means having one wish granted each day. But the children don't realize all the trouble wishes can cause. A timeless classic with an introduction by quentin blake, award-winning illustrator and first-ever children's laureate (1999–2001).
