Synopsis:
There were once five children who spent their summer holidays in a white house situated between a sand-pit and a chalk-pit. One day they found a strange creature living in the sand. It had ears like a bat's and its tubby body was covered in thick fur. This was the last of the Psammeads -- a sand-fairy with the power to grant people their wishes -- and its adventures are told in the book Five Children and It.

Now those children have gone back home, and four new ones have arrived: George, Ellie, Pip and Lucy. The Psammead (being the last of its kind) was by then feeling lonely, and was rather pleased to hear the familiar sound of children's voices. And so, a whole new series of marvellous new wishes are granted...

In The Return of the Psammead Helen Cresswell has created an enchanting sequel to E. Nesbit's much-loved Five Children and It. The book has been illustrated in beautiful period detail by John Holder.
