The Story of the Treasure Seekers

The Bastable siblings—Dora, Oswald, Dicky, Alice, Noël, and Horace—embark on a series of amusing and often chaotic quests to restore their family's fallen fortunes. Determined to help their widowed father, the children devise elaborate schemes to find treasure and earn money, from digging for buried gold to setting up a newspaper. However, their well-meaning efforts frequently end in comedic disaster, as they encounter a string of mishaps and setbacks along the way.

Set against the backdrop of Edwardian London, Edith Nesbit's classic tale captures the timeless joys and struggles of childhood, as seen through the eyes of the resourceful and imaginative Bastable children.

EDITH NESBIT [1858-1924] was an English author and poet, best known for her children's and young adult books. She modernised the children's book genre by introducing serious themes that had previously been considered more suitable for adults, and has inspired many later writers, including C. S. Lewis and J. K. Rowling.
