Description

ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL WRITERS TO HAVE EVER LIVED

The Story of the Treasure Seekers is the first book in the Bastable trilogy, which continues with The Wouldbegoods and New Treasure Seekers.

'I love E. Nesbit' NEIL GAIMAN

'My all-time favourite classic children's author' JACQUELINE WILSON

'She speaks to the reader, and it's almost as though you can hear her voice' QUENTIN BLAKE

When their widowed father's business fails, the Bastable children decide to restore the family fortunes themselves. No longer able to afford school, the children have all the time in the world to devise ingenious money-making schemes: from digging for treasure in their Lewisham garden to becoming highwaymen on Blackheath Common. All too often their efforts lead to trouble rather than treasure, until one adventure finally pays off . . .

Published with illustrations by Gordon Browne, newly scanned from the original edition.
