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).
