THE THIRD BOOK IN THE PSAMMEAD TRILOGY, FOLLOWING FIVE CHILDREN AND IT AND THE PHOENIX AND THE CARPET 'My all-time favourite classic children's author' JACQUELINE WILSON 'I love her books, particularly the Five Children and It sequence' NEIL GAIMAN 'The cheerful, child-centred anarchy of Five Children and It is still my inspiration and delight' KATE SAUNDERS At a pet shop near the British Museum, the children discover their old friend the Psammead, caged and miserable. The children pool their pocket money together to rescue it, and in gratitude, the Psammead tells them to buy an amulet-or rather, half an amulet. Incomplete, the magic charm can take them to any place and time to search for its other half; but when the amulet is whole, it will have the power to give the children their hearts' desire. In their quest, the children visit ancient Egypt, Atlantis and Babylon-they even meet Julius Caesar. But their adventures are not without danger: if they lose the amulet on their travels they will be lost in time, unable to ever return home. With all the original illustrations by H. R. Millar, beautifully reproduced. This collection of the best children's literature, curated by Virago, will be coveted by children and adults alike. These are timeless tales with beautiful covers, that will be treasured and shared across the generations. Some titles you will already know; some will be new to you, but there are stories for everyone to love, whatever your age. Our list includes Nina Bawden (Carrie's War, The Peppermint Pig), Rumer Godden (The Dark Horse, An Episode of Sparrows), Joan Aiken (The Serial Garden, The Gift Giving), E. Nesbit (The Psammead Trilogy, The Bastable Trilogy, The Railway Children), Frances Hodgson Burnett (The Little Princess,The Secret Garden) and Susan Coolidge (The What Katy Did Trilogy).

The story of the Amulet involves four siblings that have been in other books by Nesbit. It is an adventiure story involing an enchanted amulet which will grant wishes. The children found only half the amulet and therefore cannot make many wishes until the amulet is whole again. The Children travel back in time with an old friend to find the other half of the charm. It is a delightful book. The dialog keeps your attention as does the plot, which of course has many twisits and turns. I would highly recomend this book and all of Nesbits books if you are a fan of comedy, adventure, action and mystery.
