The Story of the Treasure Seekers is a novel written by Edith Nesbit and first published in 1899.
"This is the story of the different ways we looked for treasure, and I think when you have read it you will see that we were not lazy about the looking.
There are some things I must tell before I begin to tell about the treasure-seeking, because I have read books myself, and I know how beastly it is when a story begins, "'Alas!' said Hildegarde with a deep sigh, 'we must look our last on this ancestral home'"—and then some one else says something—and you don't know for pages and pages where the home is, or who Hildegarde is, or anything about it. Our ancestral home is in the Lewisham Road. "
This book is illustrated with original drawings.

127 years later, still timely
Siblings form a committee to save the family fortunes, mostly by imagination and enterprise. Nesbit invents the modern kid-adventure voice: funny, resourceful, lightly chaotic.
A smart companion to conversations about teamwork and initiative. Episodic chapters suit nightly reading; the narrator invites perspective taking and gentle fact-checking.
Roles, plans, and plenty of heart.
Each attempt teaches something.
Unreliable and endearing.
