Klappentext

Edith Nesbit's beloved children's classic follows the imaginative adventures of the Bastable children as they attempt to restore their family's lost fortune. When the fortunes of the Bastable family suddenly collapse, the six resourceful children-Dora, Oswald, Dicky, Alice, Noel, and Horace Octavius-decide that it is their duty to recover the family treasure. Determined to help their father and restore the household to prosperity, the children embark on a series of imaginative schemes intended to make money and bring wealth back to the Bastable home. Their plans range from the hopeful to the wildly impractical, and each new attempt leads to unexpected complications, comic misunderstandings, and lively adventures. Through these escapades, the children learn lessons about friendship, loyalty, and the unpredictable nature of good intentions. First published in 1899, The Story of the Treasure Seekers became one of Edith Nesbit's most enduring works. With warmth, humor, and a lively narrative voice, the novel captures the spirit of childhood imagination and remains a treasured classic of English children's literature.
