A Treasure's Trove

</center>

</p>

A Treasure's Trove, written and illustrated by Michael Stadther, is the book that launched a nationwide hunt for treasure -- real treasure. For nearly a year, readers calling themselves "Trovers," enchanted by this fairy tale and its rich illustrations, solved clues that led them to twelve gold tokens hidden by the author around the continental United States. Each token, when found, was redeamable for a fabulous jewel, and each custom-designed piece was inspired by the books characters. These twelve jewels, collectively, are worth more than &#36;1 million.

The Official Solution Book reveals how the puzzles are solved, how Michael Stadther developed the hunt, and how he hid the tokens. It tells the stories of the finders of these valuable tokens. And it shares the experiences of thousands of children, parents and grandparents who became engrossed in this story of good conquering evil, of perserving and cherishing the environment, and of the importance of caring for each other.
