This week one of these thick pocket books (almost 500
pages) was published here in Norway. This time it’s a
book about seeking for treasures. Included in this
book is a 4 chapter story about a treasure which was
once hidden by Cornelius Coot as a gift to the future
Duckburgians. A nice story, but IMO there are a few
matters which reduces the quality of this story.

These are:
1) Both Cornelius Coot and the statue of Cornelius
Coot are poorly drawn.
2) This story claims that the statue was raised in
Cornelius’ own time, while most other sources (both
american and European) claim that it was risen in
1952.
3) Donald is "in war" with a wrong neighbour. Why
would anyone disregard J. Jones as Donald’s aggressive
neighbour?
4) The treasure (an enormous amounts of diamonds) is
not realistic. How could a poor young town in the west
be able to collect such a fortune? Not to speak about
Cornelius alone? And even if they did, why would they
hide it all for a distant future instead of using
their fortune on them selves?
