I read 'FIVE CHILDREN AND IT' this week.
When the children dug a hole in the gravel-pit, they were very surprised at what they found. 'It' was a Psammead, a sand-fairy, thousands of years old.
It was a strange little thing-fat and furry, and with eyes on long stalks. It was often very cross and unfriendly, but it could give wishes-one with a day. 'How wonderful!' the children said.
But wish are different things. they can get you into trouble.....
This story is kind of fantasy and a little horror. This fairy is a little strange appearance, but I like it!
