Robert, Cyril, Anthea, Jane, and Baby brother "Lamb" find an ancient Psammead sand-fairy who grants them one wish per day. But whatever they wish turns wrong. They try "beautiful as the day", "wealth beyond avarice", angel wings to fly, defending a besieged castle, raiding Red Indians, and more. Diamonds for Mother on her return is the last straw.
