"I’ll tell you what, we must go and seek for treasure: it is always what you do to restore the fallen fortunes of your House..."

From the author of The Railway Children, The Treasure Seekers is the first of her Bastable Children series, which has inspired writers from C.S. Lewis to Michael Moorcock.

About Edith Nesbit
Edith Nesbit (1858–1924) lived in England and had dreamed of becoming a poet since she was fifteen years old. After her husband fell ill, it was up to her to support her small family. For the next nineteen years, she wrote novels, essays, articles, poems, and short stories; but it was not until 1899, when The Story of the Treasure Seekers was published, that she achieved great success. Her groundbreaking style of depicting realistic, believable children quickly gained a popularity that has lasted for more than a century.
