Bibliography
Five Children and It (1948)
Five children on holiday discover a sand fairy in a local quarry -- and it grants their wishes, with sometimes surprising results.
The Phoenix and the Carpet (1960)
The five children who discovered ‘It’ find a Phoenix’ egg rolled up in a magic carpet and hatch it in the nursery fireplace.
The Story of the Amulet (1949)
The five children re-encounter the Psammead—the “It” in Five Children and It. As it no longer grants wishes to the children, however, its capacity is mainly advisory in relation to the children’s other discovery, the Amulet.
