About this listen

When Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and their baby brother go digging in the gravel pit, the last thing they expect to find is a Psammead - an ancient Sand-fairy! Having a Sand-fairy for a pet means having one wish granted each day. But the children don't realize all the trouble wishes can cause... The five children find a cantankerous sand fairy, a psammead, in a gravel pit. Every day 'It' will grant each of them a wish that lasts until sunset, often with disastrous consequences.

Downloaded this in error and will be returning it. The narrator sounds German which is a problem because it's hard to understand her, especially for children who are listening. This isn't noted in the description. Further, the audio quality is poor and it sounds more like someone practicing their English at home while reading the novel than an actual audio book.
