It is the Sand-fairy known as the Psammead, and it lives in the gravel pit where purple and yellow wildflowers grow. It is furry and fat with hands like a monkey's - and has the power to grant wishes. The children discover that wish-making is fun at first, but sometimes, when wishes come true, fun can soon turn into trouble."--Container. Subjects: Children's literature. Children's fiction.

Originally published in the Strand as 'The Psammead,' this is Nesbit's beloved tale about the misadventures of five young protagonists and It, an ancient wish-granting sand fairy, and their subsequent encounter with a phoenix, a magic carpet, and a magical Egyptian amulet. Several elements in these tales were borrowed by C. S. Lewis for his Narnia series, and Tolkien's Roverandom paid homage, featuring a wizard named Psamathos Psamathide, described as a 'Psamathist', from an order of 'Psammeads'. Rare as a complete set (no others listed at time of writing).
