From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Treasure's Trove: A Fairy Tale About Real Treasure For Parents And Children Of All Ages is an illustrated children's book written by Michael Stadther and published in 2004. The "real treasure" was found by deciphering clues in the book that lead to twelve tokens that could be turned in for unique jewels, each representing an insect or character in the book.

[edit] Synopsis
The book is about twelve forest creatures whose mates disappear after being crystallized by a dark dust that falls every evening. The forest creatures combine forces with Zac (the handsome woodcarver), Ana (his beautiful half-elf, half-human wife), and their timid, chubby, winged "doth" Pook to save the creatures and restore the dying forest.
[edit] Treasure hunt
Inside the book are clues to twelve tokens that were hidden throughout the United States. The tokens could be turned in for jewels that represent the twelve creatures featured in the story. The total value of all twelve jewels is roughly $1 million. This style of treasure hunt is known as an armchair treasure hunt.
The twelve tokens have all been found. A book that shows the solutions has been published. Another book with a new treasure hunt, Secrets of the Alchemist Dar, has also been published.
