Przygody młodych Bastablów
Pamiętacie młodych Bastablów, szóstkę sympatycznych psotników, którzy w Poszukiwaczach skarbu próbowali ratować sytuację finansową rodziny? Udało im się już znaleźć skarb, ale to wcale nie znaczy, że ich przygody dobiegły końca.Świat czeka na odkrycie, ekscentryczne osoby na poznanie, a tajemnicze domy na odwiedzenie. W końcu nasi bohaterowie mogą jeszcze zostać wróżbitami, naukowcami lub szlachetnymi przemytnikami. Ich wyobraźnia i ciekawość świata nie pozwolą Wam się nudzić.Przedstawiamy kolejną część perypetii Dory, Oswalda, Dicka, Ali, Noela i Horacego Oktawiusza Bastablów – pomysłowego rodzeństwa, znanego czytelnikom z Poszukiwaczy skarbu.Edith Nesbit, autorka tej pełnej ciepła książki, w Polsce znana jest najbardziej z cyklu o Piaskoludku (Pięcioro dzieci i coś, Feniks i dywan, Historia amuletu).
Poszukiwacze skarbu
Co można poradzić, gdy sytuacja finansowa rodziny nie przedstawia się najlepiej i nic nie wskazuje na to, żeby miała się poprawić? Rodzeństwo Bastablów wymyśliło rozwiązanie: trzeba znaleźć skarb.Każde z szóstki sympatycznych psotników ma inny pomysł, jak to zrobić, a ich metody są dalekie od standardowych. Dorze, Oswaldowi, Dickowi, Ali, Noelowi i Horacemu Oktawiuszowi (w skrócie H. O.) może brakować wielu rzeczy, ale z pewnością nie wyobraźni, pomysłowości i humoru.Powieść Poszukiwacze skarbu po raz pierwszy ukazała się w 1899 roku i mimo upływu ponad stu lat nie straciła w niczym na uroku. Odnajdą w niej coś dla siebie tak mali, jak i duzi czytelnicy.Edith Nesbit, autorka tej pełnej ciepła książki, znana jest w Polsce najbardziej z cyklu o Piaskoludku (Pięcioro dzieci i coś, Feniks i dywan, Historia amuletu).
