location of a treasure casque. In each casque, waits a key. The return of the key will gain its treasure for you. (If you are unable to retrieve the casque, but believe you have determined its site, you may acquire its treasure by successfully completing the form in the back of the book with a precise description and explanation of your discovery.) Any successful discov- ery of a treasure will be described in the next edition of The Secret. Finally, you will meet many of the modern descen- dants of the Fair People who arrived on America’s shores. You are cordially invited to inform us, in words or pictures, of your own sightings of Fair People as yet unseen for inclusion in the next edition of The Secret. This is our story, simply told. The mystery is yours to unravel.

If you send back the key found inside the casque, the treasure becomes yours. If you cannot travel to the location to retrieve the casque in person, but have determined its hiding place through reasoning, please write out your reasoning process in detail on the answer sheet included with this book and send it in. If your reasoning is correct, the treasure becomes yours. Those who discover a treasure through correct reasoning will be listed in the next edition of this book.
In the course of your journey to find the treasures, you will surely encounter the descendants of the Fair People who landed on the shores of America’s New World.
Furthermore, if you know of any fairy not yet discovered, please report it to us in illustration or writing. These too are planned for inclusion in the next edition of this book.
The one who solves the mystery — that is you.
