by Colin Wills

A family adventure in four parts by Barbara Sleigh
4 — (conclusion)
' The Most Treasured Possession '
Produced by Eve Burgess
Last week Moggy and Sim were left in a dreadful position-locked inside a cupboard in the headmistress's study! The prospect of ever finding Aunt Tryphena's treasure seemed more remote than ever. But the great thing about treasure hunting is always to remember the unlikely places. Even old bedsteads have their secrets.
