Set during the First World War, this heart-wrenching sequel to E. Nesbit's 'Five Children and It' follows Cyril, Anthea, Robert, and Jane as they face the challenges of war. The sand fairy reappears, but this time his magic has a more serious purpose. Through the eyes of the two youngest children, Edith and the Lamb, we witness the impact of the war on all fronts: factory workers, soldiers, sailors, nurses, and the people left at home. An epic story that explores the cost of war and how it changes a family forever.
Katharine Mary Saunders was an English writer, actress and journalist. She won the Betty Trask Award and the Costa Children's Book Award and was twice shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal.
