Edith Nesbit

The New Treasure Seekers Edith Nesbit

This is the third in the popular 'Treasure Seekers' series. This classic tale brings back the much-loved characters of Dora, Oswald, Dicky, Alice, Noel and H. O. Bastable as they stumble into yet more comic adventures. The six children fill their free time with entertainments that don't always turn out as they plan. But whether telling fortunes at a party, unwittingly assisting an elopement, reforming their nasty cousin Archibald, or even getting arrested, it is all good fun, and usually for a good cause. Edith Nesbit (1858-1924) was an English author and poet; she published her books for children under the name of E. Nesbit. She wrote or collaborated on more than 60 books of fiction for children. She was also a political activist and co-founded the Fabian Society, a socialist organisation later affiliated to the Labour Party.
