About this book

The Story of the Treasure Seekers is the book that made E. Nesbit's name, published in 1899, and the first of her tales about the six Bastable children. With their mother dead and their father's business in trouble, the children set out in a series of well-meaning schemes to restore the fallen fortunes of their house, from digging for treasure in the garden to selling their own poetry and rescuing a stranger they take for a bandit. Narrated by young Oswald with unforgettable and unwitting comedy, the book is warm, funny, and free of preaching, and it changed children's fiction for good. This free PDF and EPUB offers the complete story.
