CHAPTER ONE LAND OF WISHES The chair was a bit crowded, with the two children, Nose-About the brownie, and Binky. 'I'll take you to the Land of Wishes if you like,' said the small brownie, humbly. He was very anxious to please them all. You can have as many wishes as you like this weekend because it's Princess Peronel's birthday. I've an invitation ticket. Look.'

He pulled a rather crumpled ticket from his pocket. It certainly was an invitation.

'But it's for you, not for us,' said Peter. 'It says "For Brownie Nose-About and Friends",' said the brownie. I'm Nose-About -and you're my friends, aren't you? Oh, please do say you are!' 'Well- all right, we're your friends then,' said Peter.

'Mollie certainly was a friend to you in the Village of Gobbo! Binky, shall we go to the Land of Wishes? I know quite a few wishes I'd like to wish!' 'Yes, let's go,' said Binky. 'Nose-About, you'd better tell the chair to go, because you're the one who has the invitation.' So, in a rather important voice, Nose- About told the chair where to go. 'To the Land of Wishes, please,' he said. 'To the Princess Peronel's birthday party.' The chair gave a little creak and flew straight upwards. It was very dark now and stars were out in the sky.
