- Book Synopsis
- 'It' is a Psammead, an ancient ugly and irritable sand fairy the children find one day in a gravel pit. It grants them a wish a day, but they soon find it hard to think of sensible wishes, and get themselves into all sorts of trouble.
- About The Author
- 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.
