Nutmeg lives a very dull life with her old Uncle Nicodemus and Cousin Nesbitt. They eat nothing but cardboard for breakfast, string for lunch and sawdust for supper. Then one day she meets a genie who gives her a magic wooden spoon which not only conjures up all kinds of delicious food but also transforms the house into a ship, in which Nutmeg and her family sail off to new adventures!
