Descripción
While playing in the countryside, five children discover a Psammead, a cantankerous little sand fairy who agrees to grant them one wish each day, although its effects last only until sunset. The adventurous siblings imagine endless possibilities, but whether they wish for piles of money, wings, or the disappearance of their annoying infant brother, their days never go as planned. The consequences lead them into many thrilling and often hilarious escapades. Edith Nesbit drew inspiration from her own five children for this enchanting novel, whose warm and funny portrayal of a magical childhood has kept it in print ever since. This illustrated edition features drawings by H. R. Millar and an afterword by writer, critic and broadcaster Nicolette Jones.
