More About This Book

Overview

"This is the story of the different ways we looked for treasure..."
When their mother dies and their father's business partner runs off with most of their money, the six intrepid Bastable children are determined to restore their family's fallen fortunes. Theseresourceful children squabble, make up, and have many memorable adventures, from publishing their own newspaper to foiling a pair of real bandits and even becoming kidnappers themselves. But while the efforts of the Bastables are often ingenious, their good intentions always go hilariously awry. This lively, funny story perfectly captures these children's remarkable bravery and deep sense of honor. First published in 1899, this children's classic is available again for a new generation of readers with a magnificent cover illustration by Caldecott winner Paul O. Zelinsky.

There are six boys and girls in the Bastable family. Their mother is dead and their father's business is not doing well. The children decide to help restore the family fortune. They try digging for treasure, being detectives, writing poetry. They answer an advertisment in the paper that leads them into one adventure after another.

Meet the Author

Edith Nesbit (1858 – 1924), was a mischievous, tomboyish child who grew up to be an unconventional adult. She and her husband were founder members of the socialist Fabian Society and their home became a centre for socialist and literary discussion. Their friends included some of the time’s greatest writers and thinkers, including George Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells.

Everything about Edith showed her as a woman trying to break out of the mould demanded by English society at the time – she expressed her individuality through her clothes, hairstyle, lifestyle and her habit of speaking forcefully on almost any subject. She lived her socialism and late in life her charitable deeds brought her close to bankrupcy.

E. Nesbit – she always used the plain initial for her writing and was sometimes thought to be a man – started to write for children after years of successful writing for adult magazines. She was asked to write about her childhood but instead of facts chose to describe her happy girlhood in fiction. The result was books still read today, firm bestsellers for decades. She was brilliant at combining real-life situations with elements of fantasy and humour. Films –such as The Railway Children - have kept her stories in the public eye and her magical fantasies, including Five Children and It, continue to delight each new generation of children.

    Good book! It's by E.Nesbit!

    This is indeed a good book for children and teenagers. Although the children in the book were poor, they were filial (their mum was dead) and they gathered to think of ways to help their father. This was appreciated by me because they would not think that was a shame for them. One of the children gave his poems to the manager of the newspaper man. He gave him a small amount of money and the children were delighted, soon his poems were in the newspaper. Since then, the chilren thought of ways to earn money to help the family...Finally they met their Indian uncle and their lives improved, they lived together with their uncle happily ever after.
