The magic Psammead is back! This time the four children, Cyril, Robert, Anthea and Jane are stuck in London for the summer, when they come across the Psammead (or wish giving sand-fairy), imprisoned in a pet shop. They manage to free him, and he tells them where they can get ahold of a magic amulet which will bring them their hearts’ desire.
Unfortunately when the amulet is secured, it is incomplete. They and the Psammead must travel back into ancient history to see the part of the amulet which was lost. The children experience one breathtaking adventure after another in Babylon, Egypt, the lost city of Atlantis, and Tyre.
Edith Nesbit was to children in the early twentieth century what J.K. Rowling is to today’s young generation. Magic, mythical creatures, time travel, charms, and words of power. Nesbit’s stories have it all. The Story Of The Amulet is the third and final book in this series.

Edith Nesbit (1858–1924) lived in England and had dreamed of becoming a poet since she was fifteen years old. After her husband fell ill, it was up to her to support her small family. For the next nineteen years, she wrote novels, essays, articles, poems, and short stories; but it was not until 1899, when The Story of the Treasure Seekers was published, that she achieved great success. Her groundbreaking style of depicting realistic, believable children quickly gained a popularity that has lasted for more than a century.
