Abstract
Here is a third impression in 1985 of this pamphlet, of which I already have a copy of the first impression in 1984. Like the earlier copy, this is an engaging sixteen-page pamphlet with stiff covers. Biro's best illustration here may be the double-size picture at the centerfold: the boys run to the field, each with a different dream of treasure pictured in a bubble. True to their nature, the boys give up work when they do not find the treasure. Thus the picture on 13 after the digging is very much like that on 4-5 before the digging. "'The grapes are the treasure,' they said. 'Hard work brings treasure'" (16). Do these two statements by the boys fit perfectly together? One of the ironies of finding this book after finding so many others in Biro's three series is that I paid £2 for the four booklets and £17.21 for postage!
