Be careful what you wish for.
Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane, and Hilary are playing in a sand-pit, and that's when they see it-- a bizarre creature that has eyes like a snail' s, ears like a bat' s, and body like a spider' s. This ancient sand-fairy, who is going to be their new friend, has the ability to grant wishes.
The children are ecstatic. Unimaginable riches, unmatchable beauty, and even the power to fly, nothing is beyond their reach. Now, they must have it all. But their simple wishes come at the price of disastrous consequences. The children just cannot seem to stay out of trouble-- they are shut out of their own house, get stuck on top of a tower, and have their baby brother turn into an eleven foot tall giant.
And their misadventures have only just begun . . ."

E. Nesbit

Edith Nesbit was born in 1858. Her father died when she was only three and so her family moved all over England. Poverty was something she had known first hand, both as a child and as a young married woman with small children. Like the Railway Childrens' Mother, she was forced to try and sell her stories and poems to editors.

Her first children's book, The Treasure Seekers, was published in 1899. She also wrote Five Children and It but her most famous story is The Railway Children which was first published in 1905 and it hasn't been out of print since.

Edith Nesbit was a lady ahead of her time - she cut her hair short, which was considered a very bold move in Victorian times, and she was a founding member of a group that worked towards improvements in politics and society called The Fabian Society. She died in 1924.
