Does anyone remember those hyper-illustrated kids books that supposedly held clues to some buried treasure the author had laid out. Does anyone know the history there? Was it found?
This was like 10 years ago. I was reading about the Beale Papers and I started thinking about them.
The first one I remember was Masquerade by Kit Williams. The treasure was a bejewelled gold rabbit. He also published another wherein the task was to figure out the title, and the treasure was a jewelled box with a golden queen bee on the lid.
The first book was the Seventh Guest, the second book was the 11th Hour. I should know because I deciphered both with my best friend while in grade school. Very, very cool books.
