(Edith) 1858 1924 Nesbit, Edith Bland, Edith Nesbit The Wouldbegoods: Being the Further Adventures of the Treasure Seekers Produced by Jo Churcher, and David Widger "The Wouldbegoods: Being the Further Adventures of the Treasure Seekers" by E. Nesbit is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. This engaging tale follows the Bastable siblings—Oswald, Dora, Dicky, Alice, Noel, and their younger brother H. O.—as they embark on a series of imaginative adventures and attempts to be good, exploring themes of childhood innocence, mischief, and the desire for adventure. The opening of the story introduces the siblings settling into their new life at the Red House in Blackheath after their father's financial stability was restored. We learn about their complex family dynamics, their school life, and their fond memories of treasure-seeking. Their initial adventure revolves around their efforts to host a cousin visit with Denny and Daisy, children who appear timid and proper compared to the spirited Bastables. The children soon decide to create a "jungle" in their garden, full of imaginative play involving stuffed animals, leading to chaotic and humorous consequences when their antics attract the ire of their guardians. This opening sets the stage for further explorations of their ongoing adventures and misadventures, promising a delightful read for fans of classic children's literature.
