Plot Summary:
|
'It' is a Psammead (voiced close Eddie Izzard), an primeval, sickening and grumpy sand fairy the children acquire one era on a secret littoral at their uncle's mansion. It grants them one wish per day, durable until sunset. But they soon learn it is very hard to ponder of really down-to-earth wishes, and each chestnut gets them into unexpected difficulties. Magic, the children find, can be as ticklish as it is enticing.
