Roald Dahl and the Mildenhall treasure

LS read about this story a few days ago, the silver Roman Mildenhall in Suffolk treasure was found in 1942 by a ploughman and was eventually acquired by the British Museum but not before laying dormant for four years in a farmer's house.  This to do with greed on the part of the farmer but in so doing he robbed the ploughman of a sizable reward for the finding of silver.  Roald Dahl was angered by this injustice and wrote a book about the treasure with Ralph Steadman drawing the illustrations.

The book was ordered from a bookseller in Haye-on-Wye, arrived in pristine condition and has some lovely drawings, found it fascinating........
