Five Children and It

The story begins when a group of children move from London to the countryside. The five children: Cyril, Anthea, Jane, Robert, and their baby brother. While playing in a gravel pit when they uncover a rather grumpy, ugly, and occasionally malevolent Psammead (a sand fairy) who has the ability to grant wishes. He grants each of the children one wish each day to be shared among them, with the caveat that the wishes will turn to stone at sunset. This, apparently, used to be the rule in the Stone Age, when all that children wished for was food and the bones of which then became fossils. The five children's first wish is to be "as beautiful as the day". The wish ends at sunset and its effects simply vanish, leading the Psammead to observe that some wishes are too fanciful to be changed to stone. A book the feeds the imagination.
