'The Story of the Treasure Seekers' by E. Nesbit
Read by Brian Smith
6— ' Being Editors '
The fortunes of the ancient House of Bastable being still in a parlous state, the children try their hands at a newspaper. Serial stories, scientific notes, an instructional column, answers to correspondence, and hints on gardening-every interest, in fact, is covered. ' If what we have written brings happiness to any sad heart we shall not have laboured in vain,' reads part of the editorial nore-but only part of it.
