I've read this book many times before but it never fails to enchant me. What struck me most on this reading was Edith Nesbit's playfulness. A wonderful old classic and a must-read.

All books from this collection are gorgeous! Kind of pocket size with beautiful hardcover, golden decorative edges and meaningful afterwords with why this book is relevant and what some context of authors life. This one, 'Five Children an it' is a kids books that has a good sense of humour and interesting adventure. It puts you back in time, twice if you are an adult, in the view of early 1900's kids playing around. I would recommend this book for anyone that enjoys reading.
Great read for our older children

On a summer holiday in the countryside of England, five children suddenly find themselves without the supervision of their parents. Left alone with the housekeeper, the children anticipate a dull vacation. However, they soon find more adventure than they can handle. The first day after their parents leave, the children head for a gravel pit to pretend that they are at the beach. While digging in the sand they find a Psammead, or a sand fairy. The grumpy genie promises to grant the children one wish a day that will last until sunset. But as often happens with wishes, none turn out quite the way the children expect. They are led through a series of hilarious adventures by the Psammead as they learn to appreciate what they already have. Edith Nesbit was one of the first authors to write children's books that captured what it was like to be young. Her humorous stories are sure to entertain as they gently teach children about the things in life that are truly valuable.
