The Story of the Treasure Seekers: Complete and Unabridged by E. Nesbit
5.0
I simply adore E. Nesbit (and her works and in the common domain and therefore free, besides). She's a storyteller in the great tradition of British children's authors, like C.S. Lewis and J.K. Rowling and everyone I'm forgetting at present.
Also, after I read her, I start writing like I'M British.
This is the first in the Bastables series and is utterly hilarious and wonderful. Sigh. Nesbit. I especially loved the depictions and descriptions of adults and the poor poncy neighbor boy, Alfred (I think that's his name).
There's no magic in this series, like the Railway Children, and unlike Five Children and It, etc. Well besides the magic of fabulous writing.
