'She's the children's writer with whom I most identify . . . The Story of the Treasure Seekers was a breakthrough children's book' J. K. Rowling
When their widowed father's business fails, the Bastable children decide to restore the family fortunes themselves. No longer able to afford school, the children have all the time in the world to devise ingenious money-making schemes, from digging for treasure in their Lewisham garden to becoming highwaymen on Blackheath Common. But all too often, their efforts lead to trouble rather than treasure . . .
'Endlessly surprising and inventive . . . Nesbit is simply the funniest writer we have ever had. She made magic worlds feel as near as the Lewisham Road and she bathed the Lewisham Road in magic' Frank Cottrell-Boyce
'My all-time favourite classic children's author' Jacqueline Wilson
'I love E. Nesbit' Neil Gaiman
