Sometimes grief and poverty come into a house. For adults, this is a reason to be upset, work hard, worry about investments and loans. And for children, it is an excellent reason to go on a treasure hunt. That is what the six brothers and sisters from the Bastable family did. So they decided to help their widowed father get rich. But as soon as they turned on their imagination, they immediately found many other interesting ways to replenish the family budget. For example, publish a book of their own poems, work as private detectives and conduct an investigation, or save an elderly gentleman from trouble so that he will bequeath a large inheritance to the children as a token of gratitude. Or, in extreme cases, become robbers and take an unsuspecting careless traveler prisoner. Of course, in the hope of ransom. And this is only part of the fascinating stories from the life of the Bastable family, included in this collection. Thanks to the writing talent of Edith Nesbit, which was admired by such masters of words as C. S. Lewis, J. K. Rowling and Diana Wynne Jones, even the most sophisticated reader will not be bored.
