About the story.

Five children digging in a sandpit discover a creature that can grant wishes. The offer seems wonderfully straightforward until they begin putting their desires into words and encountering the world those wishes actually produce.

E. Nesbit combines family squabbles with magic that is far more particular than its beneficiaries expect. Each new possibility brings the temptation to try again, and a fresh reason to think carefully first.
