The Story of the Treasure Seekers (TV Series)
1953 · Series · 30 min. · United Kingdom
This is the story of the different ways we looked for treasure... When their mother dies and their fathers business partner runs off with most of their money, the six intrepid Bastable children are determined to restore their familys fallen fortunes. These resourceful children squabble, make up, and have many memorable adventures, from publishing their own newspaper to foiling a pair of real bandits and even becoming kidnappers themselves. But while the efforts of the Bastables are often ingenious, their good intentions always go hilariously awry. This lively, funny story perfectly captures these childrens remarkable bravery and deep sense of honor. First published in 1899, this childrens classic is available again for a new generation of readers with a magnificent cover illustration by Caldecott winner Paul O. Zelinsky.
