-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.- This novel, the first in what is often called -the Bastable Saga- begins the story of these six children -- Dora, Oswald, Dicky, Alice, Noel, and Horace Octavius Bastable. When their mother dies and their father's business fails, the children embark on a series of adventures. Its sequels are The Wouldbegoods (1899) and The New Treasure Seekers (1904).
