When Cyril, Anthea, Robert and Jane find the Psammead, a magical sand
fairy, in a pet shop in London, they have no idea that they are about to
embark on their greatest adventure yet. The Psammead leads them to an
Egyptian amulet that has the power to grant whatever their hearts
desire. The problem is that the amulet is broken, and the other half -
needed if their wishes are to be granted - is lost. Yet with their half
of the amulet able to transport them through time, the children set out
on a search for the missing half, and the realization of their wildest
dreams...
From an encounter with Julius Caesar to a visit of the lost city of
Atlantis, The Story of the Amulet - the final instalment in the
Psammead Trilogy - is an unforgettable tale of magic and time travel
that has been loved by children and parents alike for more than a
century.
