The Story of the Treasure Seekers is a novel by E. Nesbit, author of “The Railway Children”, “Five Children and It” etc.. It tells the story of Dora, Oswald, Dicky, Alice, Noel, and Horace Octavius (H. O.) Bastable, and their attempts to assist their widowed father and recover the fortunes of their family; its sequels are The Wouldbegoods (1901) and The New Treasure Seekers (1904).
The novel’s complete name is The Story of the Treasure Seekers: Being the Adventures of the Bastable Children in Search of a Fortune. This edition contains 17 illustrations by Gordon Brown and Lewis Baumer.
The story narrator is Oswald, and is told from a child’s point of view. On the first page he announces:
‘It is one of us that tells this story – but I shall not tell you which: only at the very end perhaps I will. While the story is going on you may be trying to guess, only I bet you don’t.’
However, his occasional lapse into first person, and the undue praise he likes to heap on himself, makes his identity obvious to the attentive reader long before he reveals it himself.
A Classic of Children’s literature which influenced Arthur Ransome and C. S. Lewis amongst many others.
