FIVE CHILDREN AND IT The Five Children Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane,
and Hilary the baby go to the country, they decide to go digging in
a sand pit. There they find a furry creature with two horns on its
head holding its eyes. The creature is the Psammead, a grumpy
sand-fairy, the last of his kind, who grants a wish a day. Soon
they find their wishes never seem to turn out right and often have
unexpected consequences. The Five Children and IT offers a generous
amount of fantasy, humor, and adventure, as the children are
repeatedly subject to wishes gone comically wrong.
The enchanted castle is a country estate in the West Country of
England, as seen through the eyes of three children, Gerald, James
and Kathleen, who discover it while exploring during the school
holidays. The lake, groves and marble statues, with white towers
and turrets in the distance, make a fairy-tale setting, and then in
the middle of the maze in the rose garden they find a sleeping
fairy-tale princess.
The "princess" tells them that the castle is full of magic, and
they almost believe her. She shows them the treasures of the
castle, including a ring she says is a ring of invisibility, but
when it actually turns her invisible she panics and admits that she
is the housekeeper's niece, Mabel, and was just play-acting.
The children soon discover that the ring has other magical
powers...
