Description
All six Bastable children—Dora, Oswald, Dicky, Alice, Noel and Horace Octavius—are ambitious adventurers, digging detectives and intrepid treasure seekers by nature. Unfortunately, the Bastable family is currently facing an uncertain financial future. When father takes ill, and his business partners abandon him, the six children team up in an effort to restore their family's wealth. Although they devise some ingenious escapades, their efforts usually end up unprofitable but fun—and sometimes their digging gets downright dangerous. But one day their adventure leads them to completely unexpected results. Author E. Nesbit's classic children's stories have entertained countless readers since their original publication over 100 years ago. With Simon Prebble's exceptional narration this marvelously written tale shines as brightly as gold coins.

      • content: Tired of kids who sit at a computer or a video game all day long? Who have lost their imaginations? And their ability to read a book and then to use what they read to enrich their lives? Meet the five Bastables. Here are children filled with adventurous spirits, abundant imaginations, and great kindness, but not a farthing to their name. They are trying to restore the "fortunes of the house of Bastable" by treasure hunting in every way they can dream up. Dora, Oswald, Dicky, Alice, Noel, and H.O. (Horace Octavius) will delight by making you laugh aloud and weep with joy. Simon Prebble has a great time as Oswald, the secret narrator, and he plunges into a rich range of English accents and rich baritones to identify all the adults who come along, from the G.B. (great benefactor) to the Poor Indian. Get this tape! This book! And spread it around liberally! We really need to remember this esprit.
