Beschreibung
Like Nesbit's The Railway Children, the story begins when a group of children move from London to the countryside of Kent. The five children Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane, and their baby brother, known as the Lamb are playing in a gravel pit when they uncover a rather grumpy, ugly, and occasionally malevolent Psammead, a sand-fairy with ability to grant wishes.
