This is an older book, copyright 1962...before even I was born :-)However, it remains a good read. Edward and Eleanor live in Concord, Massachusetts, with their elderly aunt and uncle. A family tragedy occurred many years ago. Prince Krishna, their Aunt Lily's beau from many years ago, had developed a treasure hunt for Lily's siblings Ned and Nora (Edward and Eleanor were named after them). While they were searching for it, Ned and Nora disappeared and were never seen or heard from again. Prince Krishna disappeared shortly after that, and Lily's heart was broken. She never married. Now, Edward and Eleanor are determined to figure out what happened to Ned, Nora, and Prince Krishna for two reasons: find the treasure to get enough money to save their house and finally have an answer for Aunt Lily about what happened to her family.
