Winner of the Costa Children's Book Award 2014.

A follow-on from Five Children and It stories, in which, the five children have grown up and World War I has begun in earnest. Cyril is off to fight, Anthea is at art college, Robert is a Cambridge scholar and Jane is at high school. The sand fairy has become a creature of stories ...until, for the first time in 10 years, he suddenly reappears.

 

The Costa Judges said Saunders' book was "a beautifully-written exploration of the power of love in the face of the horrors of war".
