description: "Marvelous things will start happening to you... and you will never again be miserable in your whole life." Whereupon the little man gave James some magic green things and scurried away. But James, who hated his wicked aunts, Sponge and Spiker, spilled the green things under the old peach tree. Sadly, he resigned himself to misery when suddenly a huge peach appeared on top of the tree! Soon it was as big as a small house. Crawling inside, James met wonderful new friends: cheerful Grasshopper, dainty Ladybug, and grumpy Centipede, whose razor-sharp jaws severed the thick peach stem... And away the peach household rolled, embarked on a series of madcap adventures...
