<dc:description id="description">Five children encounter an ancient magical creature who grants them wishes—all of which go comically wrong.</dc:description>
<meta id="long-description" property="se:long-description" refines="#description">
&lt;p&gt;Initially published in &lt;i&gt;The Strand Magazine&lt;/i&gt;, which explains its episodic nature, &lt;i&gt;Five Children and It&lt;/i&gt; was later collected into a book. Like many of &lt;a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/e-nesbit"&gt;E. Nesbit&lt;/a&gt;’s works, it has proven popular with children and adults to this day. It has been adapted into a TV series, a musical, a film, and even an anime series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this story, five siblings encounter an ancient magical creature in a gravel pit. The Psammead, as it calls itself, grants each of them a wish per day, with the restriction that it ends at sunset. As expected, all of the children’s wishes go comically wrong and it is up to them to solve the problems they have created.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;E. Nesbit’s enduring popularity is due in large part to the way she addressed children. Like &lt;a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/lewis-carroll"&gt;Lewis Carrol&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/kenneth-grahame"&gt;Kenneth Grahame&lt;/a&gt;, she engaged children seriously, tapping into their imagination, without any condescension. C.S Lewis admired her, and the grumpy (but kind) sand-sorcerer Psamathos in &lt;i&gt;Roverandom&lt;/i&gt;, a story J.R.R. Tolkien wrote for his own children, bears a striking resemblance to the Psammead—indeed, an early version of the story featured the creature itself!&lt;/p&gt;
