The New Treasure Seekers

by Edith Nesbit

Overview

The Bastable children are at it again! If you've enjoyed their adventures trying to make a fortune in The Treasure Seekers, and wanting to be seen as 'good' in The Wouldbegoods then you won't want to miss this collection of stories that take place before, and after the earlier books.

Once again the best intentions of the Bastable children don't go according to plan as they get up to all sorts of adventures, like trying to recover their dog, pretending to be a fortune teller, trying to create an Adoring Public for Albert's uncle, and many more.

A final few stories featuring the Bastables can be found in Oswald Bastable and Others, available now from Living Book Press.

Editorial Reviews

Narrator Teresa Gallagher has an amazing ability to differentiate the voices of a wide-range of children by age. They’re not just a bevy of kids. When she dramatically describes a family wedding, it's from the viewpoint of youngsters who see the 26-year-old bride as old. Equally entertaining is hearing the lengths the kids go to to make a real Christmas pudding after their father tells them that he directed the cook to make a plain one. When they use soap to clean the raisins, listeners can almost taste the soapy, raisin-studded cake. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
