(3) YA Illustrated by Ralph Steadman. Originally published in 1946 in The Saturday Evening Post, this true story concerns Gordon Butcher, a plowman from Suffolk, who unearths a priceless treasure trove of Roman silver in a field. Because of the greedy machinations of a fellow plowman, Butcher is cheated of his fortune. This sophisticated edition includes brooding pictures splattered with ink and watercolor that perfectly evoke the story's dark undertones.
