| Summary | "New Treasure Seekers; Or, The Bastable Children in Search of a Fortune" by E. Nesbit is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the adventures of the Bastable siblings—Oswald, Dicky, Dora, Noël, H.O., and Alice—as they embark on whimsical quests to seek fortune and have fun while navigating the challenges of childhood. This lively tale is grounded in a mix of imagination and realism, featuring a distinctly humorous perspective on the adventures of youth. At the start of the novel, the Bastable children are introduced along with their family dynamics, highlighting their longing for adventure and excitement against the backdrop of their middle-class life in London. The narrative begins with a wedding celebration that sets a festive yet chaotic atmosphere, as H.O. (Horace Octavius) unexpectedly decides to run away as a stowaway after being inspired by dreams of fame and fortune. The children engage in amusing antics, illustrating their strong bonds, while addressing themes of adventure, mischief, and the innocence of childhood. The opening portion establishes both character relationships and the humorous tone that persists throughout the book, promising readers a delightful journey with clever insights into the lives of the Bastables.
