#47 Three Little Wishes by Paul Cornell, Steven Yeowell (Illustrations)

 

When an always detail oriented lady lawyer finally decides to do something spontaneous things get really out of hand.   She buys a storage locker and instead of a jinn in a bottle she finds the fairy King Oberon who grants her three wishes but he will take every wish literally.  Kelly decides to wish for world peace and has six main clauses and thirty-four subclauses.  Of course lots of people are unhappy with this outcome and come after her.  Now she has two more wishes and is in hiding and has to make sure she doesn’t use the word wish anymore.  And Oberon is learning more about the modern world he has missed out on.
