"I love E. Nesbit -- I think she is great and I identify with the way that she writes. Her children are very real children and she was quite a groundbreaker in her day." --JK Rowling 'Don't you know a sand-fairy when you see one?' I dare say you have often thought about what you would do if you were granted three wishes.

And that is just the beginning of their dilemmas. As they discover, there is nothing quite like a wish for getting you into terrible trouble.
