Synopsis

Digging in a gravel pit, five children unearth a cantankerous sand-fairy who grants one wish a day, and every wish turns out to be far more trouble than they expect. Wings, gold guineas, a siege and a wish too many follow in rapid succession, with consequences the children must manage before sunset.

E. Nesbit's 1902 novel is a cornerstone of children's fantasy and an enduring family favourite, at once hilarious and tender. This complete, unabridged reading is delivered in warm, natural English across eleven chapters, and is equally suited to bedtime, car journeys and classroom listening.

About E. Nesbit

Edith Nesbit was a mischievous child who grew up into an unconventional adult. With her husband, Hubert Bland, she was one of the founder members of the socialist Fabian Society; their household became a centre of the socialist and literary circles of the times. E. Nesbit turned late to children's writing. Her first children's book, The Treasure Seekers, was published in 1899 to great acclaim. Other books featuring the Bastable children followed, and a series of magical fantasy books, including Five Children and It also became very popular. The Railway Children was first published monthly in the London Magazine in 1905, and published as a book in 1906, which has been in print ever since.
