«Five Children and It» is E. Nesbit's children's fantasy novel, published by Penguin Books in paperback (208 pages, in English).
Five siblings spending a few days in the countryside discover Psammead, a prehistoric and reluctant sand fairy who grants one wish a day. Each wish comes true literally and unexpectedly, so wealth, beauty or wings to fly end up turning into tangles and absurd situations.
First instalment of the Psammead trilogy, originally published in 1902. This Penguin Popular Classics edition includes an introduction by Roger Lancelyn Green.
Aimed at child and young adult readers, with fantasy and adventure as the core of the story.
