Four siblings find a coin, and they come to realize that the coin is a magic coin. But it is not your usual magic coin—it only does half of what is asked of it. This has some unexpected and funny consequences. What you wish for—well, let's just say that you might want to think carefully before you pick up a magical coin and make a wish.
I remember the joy I had when I read this book when I was a kid. I remember the delight I felt when I discovered that the author had written other magical books. I read the whole series back in the early 1960s. It remains my favorite series of all time.
