Mr. Mellop and his four sons go in search of a trunk full of gold, lost at sea by a relative in 1765.

When Mr. Mellop finds a dusty old forgotten trunk in his attic, he smells adventure. Sure enough, the trunk contains a letter from a noble Mellop relative describing exactly where his ship carrying a chest of gold sank in 1765. Naturally, the Mellops intend to find the treasure. But treasure is not the only thing waiting for the intrepid pigs below the ocean's surface -- seahorses, a merpig, and an angry octopus are just a few of the surprises in store for the marvelous Mellops.
Tomi Ungerer, born in Strasbourg in 1931, landed in New York in 1956 with $60 in his pocket and with a suitcase full of drawings.

As a graphic artist he created advertising campaigns for Willy Brandt and The New York Times. In 1998, Tomi Ungerer was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Award for illustration and has become an internationally renowned artist. He now divides his time between Strasbourg and Ireland.
