Title: The Story of the Treasure SeekersAuthor: E. Nesbit
Genre: Classic, childrens
Rating: 4/5
# pages: Audiobook ~5hrs
Date read: May, 2009
When their mother dies and their father's business partner runs off with most of their money, the six intrepid Bastable children are determined to restore their family's fallen fortunes. These resourceful children squabble, make up, and have many memorable adventures, from publishing their own newspaper to foiling a pair of real bandits and even becoming kidnappers themselves. But while the efforts of the Bastables are often ingenious, their good intentions always go hilariously awry.
As always Edith Nesbit delivers a delightful tale, and I actually think this is her best yet. Aimed at children, but not any the worse for not having been read until the "ripe old age" of 29. I grew to love the Bastables and enjoyed seeing them getting in and out of scrapes all the time. There's not much too it, but it's a sweet little book that put me in a good mood to read.
