A deeply emotional and intriguing adventure novel and the author’s first book dedicated to children, Edith Nesbit’s The Story of the Treasure Seekers is an account of the attempts of six children to help their widowed father and to get back the fortunes that used to be in the possession of the family. First published in 1899, the book is the first one in the line of four books that feature the Bastable children as protagonists – the first sequel to this novel, the book entitled The Wouldbegoods was published in 1901, followed by The New Treasure Seekers in 1904 and The Complete Story of the Bastable Family, published posthumously in 1928.The story is narrated by Oswald Bastable, one of the children looking for the fortune. They decide to try and recover the family’s lost wealth after they find out their father has financial problems and is seriously struggling to keep his business afloat. Each of the children is trying to pursue his or her own way to find the lost wealth, each of them being driven not only by the love for the father, but also by imagination and a very strong trust in the success of the endeavor.The book is not only eventful and exciting – it is also funny and witty. The style is informal and the narration provides an extraordinary, knowing and understanding insight into the imaginary worlds that only children can create and keep alive. The children trying to find the fortune are not only imaginative – they are also very brave, honorable and pure. The Bastable children do everything they can to restore the family’s financial well-being, but their efforts are not crowned by success. However, they learn a lot on the way, making the novel not only a story of adventure, but also one of character development and maturation.
