Resumen del Editor

All six Bastable children - Dora, Oswald, Dicky, Alice, Noel and Horace Octavius - are ambitious adventurers, digging detectives and intrepid treasure seekers by nature. Unfortunately, the Bastable family is currently facing an uncertain financial future. When father takes ill, and his business partners abandon him, the six children team up in an effort to restore their family’s wealth. Although they devise some ingenious escapades, their efforts usually end up unprofitable but fun - and sometimes their digging gets downright dangerous. But one day their adventure leads them to completely unexpected results. Author E. Nesbit’s classic children’s stories have entertained countless readers since their original publication over 100 years ago. With Simon Prebble’s exceptional narration this marvelously written tale shines as brightly as gold coins.

Grate narration, slow moving story

The narration was awesome the story was very Charming but at times it seemed very slow and it seems that we would lose track of what was happening due to that. We did finish it and we're happy with the ending. In some ways I think this would better read rather than listen to.

Fun and Engaging Book

My children and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It helped a lot to listen and read text simultaneously, for proper pronunciation and understanding (since we are American).

Fun for adults too!

I enjoyed this clever story of the Bastebiel children and would recommend it even to adults as it is a fun, and easy read and clever, as well

I liked the classic

I really liked and enjoyed the part where they were making the medicines for Noal

This was a delightful story from yester-year.

each chapter was a joy to read, and the narrator was splendid. I'll read it again soon and I definitely recommend it to you!

I love this book😉❤️!!!

I think this book is a very good book. I think anyone who likes funny stories and classic English books should read or listen to this book because I think it is a classic but you can decide for your self❤️😍😉!!! I like this book because it was written by E. Nesbitt. If you like this book you should read or listen to five children and it which is sort of like the story of The treasure seekers but it is a little more magical then the story of the treasure seekers100%❤️💛💚💙💜!!!

Great story for kids (and adults)

Such an endearing story. The perspective from the children's eyes is fantastic. They are right: grown ups do say and do all those things! The children's innocence and imaginations are refreshing. Loved it and highly recommended it! <3

Not bad

I like how I can relate to this book in all sorts of ways. My favorite part is the scene with the robber and burglar (apparently two different things).

Best Narration

There are many recordings of The Treasure Seekers and they vary greatly in quality. It is fundamentally important that the reader understand this story’s narrator in a sympathetic way. Some of the recordings are rot because the reader doesn’t seem to like the children, but Mr. Prebble’s reading is A-1.

good children's book

the narrator does a good job of explaining the British venacular into the American language
