The Treasure Seekers (Abridged) Audiobook

" A brilliant tale. It was made of the same stuff as Neverland. Cleverly written as if written by Oswald. A well crafted usage and stretching of correlation and causation to bring great adventures out of otherwise ordinary days. The book was one of the funnest reads I've had for a while. "

" Though I thought Nesbit's realistic depiction of children was dead on (the fighting, bickering, making up, playing, imagining, etc.) I sometimes found myself wondering, just how many adventures are these kids going to have? Maybe it's the "adult" in me, lol. "

" Had to send it back to the library before I was done...definitely plan on finishing it!! "

" Just finished reading this aloud. It was excellent! We learned several new vocabulary words and laughed and laughed! "

" This was probably more appealing a century ago. "

" A delight, but with reservations. Unexpected burst of humourous writing from E Nesbit. Touches of jerome K Jerome. There are chapters that need a snip here and there and the conceit is not fully realised. It is, nonetheless, a gem. "

" Laugh out loud funny. Fantastic family read aloud! "

" Another excellent written adventure with Nesbit's children. Make sure you find a child to read this to! "

" What a fun book! This book might not appeal to all readers because it is a historical fiction but it gives a great look into the lives of children during the Romamtic time period. Because the narrator is a child, this is a delightful read. "

" these are michevious little kids! "

" again, an audio book listen in the car. this was delightful fun - lots of funnies that only adults will get. sort of in the same line as A Little Princess. "

" This is one of my absolute FAVORITE books ever! Set in England, as most of E. Nesbit's books are, it is about children who are seeking treasure--in many ways. They find it at long last, and are quite surprised at what it turns out to be. "

" We simply adore Nesbit - great for the adults, who catch all the subtle british humor, fun for the kids. "

" This book frustrated me. It was written part in first person and part in third by someone pretending to be another character. Very odd. The story was fine enough although I did find the children a little insufferable towards the end. "

" I didn't think I could love a family of Edwardian children as much as I did Anthea, Cyril, Robert, and Jane, but the noble House of Bastable reigns supreme. "

" So far it's a cute book I wouldn't mind reading to Johnny at some point! Then again, I loved the Boxcar Children series as a kid, and this is indeed Edith Nesbit, a forerunner in the world of such stories! "

" A classic by one of the best children's writers ever. "

" Just a good old-fashioned read about children who didn't mind getting dirty and didn't sit at home playing video games all day. Told with the flavor of children seeking adventure and not understanding any of the crummier parts of life. Nobility and mischief. What's not to love? "

" This is a fun, light read with an amusing "between the lines" story. "

" I love E. Nesbit. She is my friend. I've read this, but hadn't recorded it, so I am recording the re-read. The Bastables (all 6) are awesome. "

" Precious, precious, precious. This is the story of the six Bastable children, and their attempts to raise their family fortune. They try everything from becoming highwaymen to digging for treasure. It was published in 1899, which makes it even more fun to read. "

" This is just the kind of children's story I like. A lot of children with a lot of spunk and imagination and a happy ending. I am sorry I haven't come across it sooner to read to my children, but there is still time to introduce it to my grandchildren. "

" Oh, but they're just so wonderfully resourceful! And the way in which everything goes awry makes for the loveliest read. :D "

" Another book by Nesbit about children and how they try to solve problems and find adventure along the way. All of her stories remind me of my childhood and my own adventures (though they were not quite as exciting)and I believe that is the top reason I enjoy them so much. "

" Oh, man. I love Edith Nesbit. "
