Five Children And It - Thryft
Five Children And It - Thryft

Enchanting wishes, adventure, timeless children's classic.

Anthea and her siblings experience the kind of magical escapades that have the power to ignite the imagination of not just children, but adults who recall their own childhood yearnings for adventure. This book remains a testament to the idea that be careful what you wish for — it might just come true, wrapped in unexpected consequences. It's the perfect blend of whimsy and wisdom.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
