'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.","brand":"Scotia Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41040785637559,"sku":"9781853261244","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5629\/7143\/products\/9781853261244.jpg?v=1641473061","url":"https:\/\/www.scotiabooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781853261244","provider":"scotia-books-online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
