The Story of the Treasure Seekers by E. Nesbit
"The Story of the Treasure Seekers" by E. Nesbit is a novel first published in 1899. Six siblings—Dora, Oswald, Dicky, Alice, Noel, and H.O. Bastable—embark on imaginative adventures to restore their family's lost fortune after their widowed father faces financial ruin. From digging for treasure to attempting daring rescues, the children try every scheme they've read about in books. Narrated by young Oswald, who playfully conceals his identity, the story captures childhood
imagination, sibling dynamics, and creative problem-solving with charm and humor. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
