Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Brilliant!This magnificent classic story, by E Nesbit, about the incorrigible Bastable children and their dog Pincher has been a favourite for both children and adults over the years. Their wild and wonderful attempts to retrieve their own family fortunes will have everyone enthralled in this book. `The Treasure Seekers' is a fabulous book which I really enjoyed reading. I would strongly recommend it to everyone who likes adventures about lonely children and normally there is a dog involved. You might recognise E Nesbit from `The Amulet', `The Railway Children', `The Five Children and It' or some others. Generations have taken pleasure in reading them and they will be classics forever, if not decades to come. Rating:  - Not one of Nesbit's best...I had to read this recently for a course I am doing and found it rather tiresome. Although Nesbit, as usual, captures just what it's like to be young at the turn of the century, I found the book lacking. I found the narration to be annoying and offensive at times (but obviously it was supposed to be narrated in first person by the elder Bastable, Oswald - a boy with quite a disdainful view of girls). And I also thought that it was too far fetched to be considered anything other than fantasy. And I couldn't get over the naivety of the characters. I understand it was a different time and young people probably grow up faster these days, but the children seemed to be completely without a clue about the real world! I also thought there were far too ... Read More: Rating:  - one of the funniest children's novels everYou need to be at least nine to get the most out of this peerless story of how an impoverished family, their widowed father on the verge of a nervous breakdown, restores the family fortune. Told with guileless pomposity and the robust yet kindly optimism of a real child (whose identity is supposed to remain a secret)it charts their adventures as they dig for treasure, write appalling poetry and even meet a real princess in Greenwich Park. Their misadventures, scrapes, occasional acts of thoughtlessness and good-hearted courage are all utterly believeable and very very funny. There is also a very good abridged audio version from Naxos. Rating: - An excellent book.... I enjoyed reading 'The Treasure Seekers' by E. Nesbit very much. I recommend this book to any child my age interested in adventure stories. It's sometimes funny and sometimes sad. But, most of all it makes you think about the right and wrong ways of having fun while looking for treasure! Rating: - One of the greatest children's books of all time.This is Nesbit's first and best novel for kids. It is terrifically funny, and witty, and anyone aged ten to a hundred should enjoy it. It's not one of her fantasy books, so don't expect phoenixes or amulets--just expect a lot of laughs, and a book you'll want to read over and over, and share with everyone you meet. |
