Its eyes were on long horns like a snail's eyes... it had ears like
a bat's ears, and its tubby body was shaped like a spider's and
covered with thick, soft fur... and it had hands and feet like a
monkey's. 'It' was the Psammead, the grumpy sand-fairy that could,
if in the mood, grant a wish a day. When the five children befriend
him they find that each wish granted often has a sting in its tail.
Golden guineas are too difficult to spend, wings let them down in a
most inconvenient way, and when they wish for Red Indians, the
children forget that they can sometimes be a little warlike.
Generations of children have come to love the fantasy and the
whimsy of the stories in the classic book from the author of The
Railway Children.
