The Doers of Good

Misfortune and poverty come to a house. For adults, that’s a reason to get upset, work a lot, worry about investments and loans. And for children—it’s a wonderful excuse to go treasure hunting. Which is exactly what six siblings from the Bestable family did. That’s how they decided to help their widowed father get rich. But the moment they let their imagination run wild, countless other non-boring ways to top up the family budget appeared at once! “The Philanthropists” is the second book in a trilogy of entertaining stories from the life of the Bestables. Thanks to Edith Nesbit’s writing talent—admired by such masters of the word as Clive S. Lewis, Joan Rowling, and Diana Wynne Jones—there’s no chance you’ll get bored, even if you’re an experienced reader.
