- The Wish Giver: Three Tales of Coven Tree by Bill Brittain is a classic novel written in 1983 set in the fictional town of Coven Tree in New England. Polly, Rowena, and Adam, along with local shop owner Stew Meat, encounter Thaddeus Blinn at the church fair. He offers to grant whatever wish they desire for 50 cents. What follows is the time old lesson about being careful what you wish for!
- ROWENA'S STORY
- Stew Meat narrates. He owns a shop and is enjoying the day at the church fair along with local children Polly, Rowena, and Adam. All four find the tent of Thaddeus Blinn with a sign out front promising wishes for only 50 cents. They curiously go inside. Mr. Blinn gives each of them a white card with a red dot on it. Skeptical, they can't believe that a simple card will grant them whatever their hearts desire. Feeling duped, they leave with their cards and doubt for Mr. Blinn's fantastical story. Blinn moves on to another town, never to be seen again.
- ADAM'S STORY
- Polly has trouble keeping her temper and longs to be friends with wealthy and posh Agatha. She wishes that Agatha will invite her to her house. The power of the wish causes Polly to croak like a frog whenever she complains or insults someone! The only way for her to stop croaking is to speak kindly. Polly is invited to Agatha's but only because Agatha wants to tease her. When Polly responds to Agatha's goading with politeness, she realizes that Agatha's snobbery is not something to aspire to. Polly realizes that by being kind, she can make true friends.
- RESOLUTION
- Rowena has a crush on traveling salesman Henry Piper. She wishes that rather than staying in town a few of days out of the year that he would grow roots there and stay. This turns Henry into a tree! While struggling to free him, Henry's true nature is revealed. He is nasty toward her, has lied about the places he's been, and was only ever nice to her to get a sale from her father. Rowena's friend Sam could have told her this. He has admired Rowena from afar and knew Henry was nothing but a con man.
- Adam Fiske has to haul huge barrels of water from the creek each day for his family's farm, which has the driest land. His father asked a relative who was an expert at finding water to work his magic to no avail. The farm had no water underground at all. Adam wishes for more than enough water for his farm. He realizes his mistake when water begins spurting from the ground until the entire farm is flooded for days and days and turns into a lake!
- The three wishers rush to Stew Meat, the only one left with a wishing card. They each beg him to use his wish to save them from the unfortunate consequences of their ill conceived wishes. Rather than fixing only one person's circumstance, clever Stew wishes that all of their wishes would be undone without any negative side effects. The children are thrilled to have everything back to normal and learn to be appreciative of what they have!
