'The Story of the Treasure Seeker' by E. Nesbit
Read by Brian Smith
1—' The Council of Ways and Means'
The six Bastable children decide that the fortunes of the ancient House of Bastable must be restored. Each of them has an idea how to set about it, but Dora, the eldest, insists that digging for treasure is the only practical way. So Oswald, Dicky Alice, Noel, and Horace Octavius, with the help of Albert-next-door, make an assault on the softest flower-bed in the garden.
