Plot summary

Mollie and Peter, searching for a birthday present for their mother, find a mysterious antiques shop which appears to be run by fairy folk. There they find a magic wishing chair with the power to grow wings and fly. After the chair rescues them from the shop, and gets them home, they decide to keep the chair in their playhouse. On their first flight, they rescue a pixie called Chinky from a giant. The pixie comes to live in their playroom, and the remainder of the book concerns the adventures of the children, as the chair takes them, and Chinky to various magical places.

The sequel, "The Wishing Chair Again" concerns further adventures of the same children. The Wishing-Chair gets captured by the giant Twisty, and they have to get it back. They also get into trouble due to some invisible paint, and a boy who makes faces, and cannot unmake them. Then they befriend a naughty brownie called Winks, who gets them into all sorts of trouble.

In "More Wishing Chair Stories" Mollie and Peter are home for the mid-term break and Chinky and the Wishing-Chair are ready to fly away with them to magical lands. They visit the Land of Wishes and the Land of Chatterboxes, but perhaps the best adventure of them all is helping Santa Claus deliver presents on Christmas Eve.
