O ovoj e-knjizi

ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL WRITERS TO HAVE EVER LIVED

NOW A FILM STARRING FREDDIE HIGHMORE, TARA FITZGERALD, JONATHAN BAILEY AND KENNETH BRANAGH

Five Children and It is the first book in the Psammead trilogy: next, discover The Phoenix and the Carpet and The Story of the Amulet.

'I love her books - particularly the Five Children and It sequence' NEIL GAIMAN

'My all-time favourite classic children's author' JACQUELINE WILSON

'The cheerful, child-centred anarchy of Five Children and It is still my inspiration and delight' KATE SAUNDERS, GUARDIAN

Digging in the gravel pit on a hot summer's day, five children discover 'it': a grumpy creature with eyes like a snail's, ears like a bat's, and a tubby body all covered in fur. 'It' is a Psammead, an ancient sand-fairy who has the power to grant the children one wish a day.

That, you might think, would be a dream come true! But you need to be very careful what you wish for: whether it's for wings, treasure or beauty, things can - and often will - go wrong.

With all the illustrations by H. R. Millar, newly scanned from the original edition.

O autoru

Edith Nesbit (1858-1924) is perhaps most famous for writing The Railway Children and Five Children and It, but she was extremely prolific and wrote or collaborated on more than sixty children's books. Nesbit is today recognised as one of the most influential and innovative children's writers that ever lived, and is cited as an inspiration by many contemporary authors, including J. K. Rowling, Neil Gaiman, Jacqueline Wilson, Kate Saunders and Frank Cottrell-Boyce. Even C. S. Lewis acknowledged the debt his Narnia series owed to her work-particularly the Bastable and Psammead trilogies.
