I love The Treasure Seekers. It’s as Clarice Bean says, when you read a really good book, you just want to read it all over again, and I did with this book. I reread it so many times in a row. Anyway, I found another copycat illustration. And it makes sense now, because this cover’s scene isn’t featured in The Treasure Seekers. But it is featured in New Treasure Seekers, in the chapter “Richard’s Revenge”, which is where the line drawing is from. Although both illustrators made a mistake. Dora wasn’t in on it. There should have been the four boys, plus Alice. See? When you copy someone’s work, you copy their mistakes, too!

Anyway, the original line illustration is by Gordon Browne and Lewis Baumer. I don’t know if either of those were the artist for the colour illustration, but something tells me not. The publisher, Parragon (who got the best English translation for Pinocchio by the way), doesn’t credit their artists.
