About Herbert and Harry

Herbert and Harry were brothers. They lived together in the same house, dug together in the same garden, and fished together from the same boat. One day, while they were out fishing, they hauled up a great treasure. They quarrelled about who owned the treasure, and Herbert pushed Harry overboard.

With dramatic and colourful illustrations, and an effectively simple text, Pamela Allen has created a book that asks the question - What is treasure?
