The Fascination of
"TREASURE HUNT"
A MAZE, whether it be a genuine labyrinth of brick or clipped hedges, or its counterpart drawn on paper, has long exercised almost as great a fascination upon the young mind as have the thrills of a search for hidden treasure. In this highly original book, both these popular appeals are ingeniously combined - plus an unusual twist which makes the reader himself responsible for the movements of the characters in the story and for the sequence of the incidents they encounter.
" Treasure Hunt " will not only provide its young (and not-so-young) readers with hours of amusement; it will also help to develop their powers of observation and deduction, their sense of direction and their grasp of the simpler principles of map-reading.
Here is no book to be perused once and then finished with; its interest and surprise elements are sustained and capable of repeated variation. And always, the mild educational pill " is " sugared" beyond recognition with a lavish coating of sheer joyous entertainment.
