Download or read book The Secret written by Byron Preiss and published by ibooks. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tale begins over three-hundred years ago, when the Fair People—the goblins, fairies, dragons, and other fabled and fantastic creatures of a dozen lands—fled the Old World for the New, seeking haven from the ways of Man. With them came their precious jewels: diamonds, rubies, emeralds, pearls... But then the Fair People vanished, taking with them their twelve fabulous treasures. And they remained hidden until now... Across North America, these twelve treasures, over ten-thousand dollars in precious jewels, are buried. The key to finding each can be found within the twelve full color paintings and verses of The Secret. Yet The Secret is much more than that. At long last, you can learn not only the whereabouts of the Fair People's treasure, but also the modern forms and hiding places of their descendants: the Toll Trolls, Maitre D'eamons, Elf Alphas, Tupperwerewolves, Freudian Sylphs, Culture Vultures, West Ghosts and other delightful creatures in the world around us. The Secret is a field guide to them all. Many "armchair treasure hunt" books have been published over the years, most notably Masquerade (1979) by British artist Kit Williams. Masquerade promised a jewel-encrusted golden hare to the first person to unravel the riddle that Williams cleverly hid in his art. In 1982, while everyone in Britain was still madly digging up hedgerows and pastures in search of the golden hare, The Secret: A Treasure Hunt was published in America. The previous year, author and publisher Byron Preiss had traveled to 12 locations in the continental U.S. (and possibly Canada) to secretly bury a dozen ceramic casques. Each casque contained a small key that could be redeemed for one of 12 jewels Preiss kept in a safe deposit box in New York. The key to finding the casques was to match one of 12 paintings to one of 12 poetic verses, solve the resulting riddle, and start digging. Since 1982, only two of the 12 casques have been recovered. The first was located in Grant Park, Chicago, in 1984 by a group of students. The second was unearthed in 2004 in Cleveland by two members of the Quest4Treasure forum. Preiss was killed in an auto accident in the summer of 2005, but the hunt for his casques continues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR Tampa richly deserves its reputation as a dynamic leader of the Sun Belt, a city whose self-confidence is apparent in the spirit of its and their enthusiastic building for the future. But Tampa, as we native Floridians know, boasts a history as impressive as its future. Long before Americans savored a hand-rolled cigar, or marveled at the international airport, Tampa had established its reputation as a frontier post, a cattle center and a gateway to the Gulf. Names like De Soto, McKay, Lesley, Gutierrez, Plant, Ybor, Spicola, Knight, Lykes and Ferguson-these names have enriched Tampa. Tampa has, in turn, added luster to the Sun- shine State. The authors, Gary Mormino and Tony Pizzo, have captured Tampa’s special sheen with words and pictures that will make its fame and beauty even more broadly recognized than they are to- day. Their work is a worthy contribution to the American Portrait Series and does credit not only to their subject, but to their talent. It would make a great addition to your home, school or as a Christmas present that should get much use.
