About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Five Children and It (version 4) by E. Nesbit. Read in English by James Pyle. When four children (and their baby brother makes five) manage to uncover the long-dormant Psammead (in plain English, then, Sand-Fairy) in a gravel pit, they have the chance of one wish a day that lasts until sunset. But you should be careful what you wish for - as Cyril, Anthea, Robert and Jane find out! (Summary by James Pyle)
