“The author with whom I identify most is E. Nesbit. She did some great, funny fairy tales.”
JK Rowling

From the Academy Award® winning Jim Henson’s Creature shop comes the story from the best selling children’s book FIVE CHILDREN AND IT by E Nesbit. FIVE CHILDREN AND IT is an action packed adventure that blends magic, fun and perilous exploits and proves that the power of wishes isn’t as strong as the power of family.

‘It’ is Psanmead, an ancient, ugly and irritable sand fairy the children find one day in a gravel pit. It grants them a wish a day, lasting until sunset. But they soon learn it is very hard to think of really sensible wishes, and each one gets them into unexpected difficulties. Magic, the children find, can be as awkward as it is enticing.

Starring comedian Eddie Izzard as the voice of It as well as a cast of fine actors including Kenneth Branagh, this magical world is brought to life using a combination of animatronics, live action and CGI.
