Five Children and It

The story follows five children - Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane, and their baby brother, the Lamb - who move from London to the countryside of Kent.

While playing in a gravel pit, they find a Psammead, a grumpy and magical sand-fairy that can grant wishes.

Each day, the Psammead grants one wish that lasts until sunset, but these wishes often go comically wrong, leading the children into various troubles and moral dilemmas.

The children must use their ingenuity and problem-solving skills to resolve the issues caused by their wishes, learning valuable lessons along the way.
