A Treasure’s Trove: A Fairy Tale About Real Treasure for Parents and Children of All Ages is a book written by Michael Stadther and published in 2004. The real treasure was found by deciphering clues in the book that led to fourteen tokens that could be turned in for unique jewels, each representing an insect or character from the book, or a cash prize representing one third of the jewel's value. Initially, it was reported that there were twelve jewels, however, it subsequently emerged that there were fourteen prizes. The jewels, which were collectively valued at one million US dollars, have now all been found, and a book showing the solutions has been published.

 

The puzzle is:

A = Dragonfly

B = Caterpillar

C = Hummingbird

D = Ant

E = Butterfly
