![]() ![]() Anyway, this book reminded me very much of two lovely bee friends. My parents’ copy now lives with my nieces, who also love it for the same reasons I did, so it’s lovely to have a copy of my very own. We had the book at home and I always loved it for the amazing illustrations and the story itself. The details of who found the hare and where are here on Wikipedia. This caused a real furore at the time and it was a race to find the hare. ![]() ![]() It was buried somewhere in the UK and only by answering the riddles and puzzles could the precise location be found. It was in fact a real jewel made by the artist and the book served as a treasure hunt for anyone at the time willing to go and find the jewel (a golden hare, see below). Unfortunately, Jack loses the jewel somewhere along the way. The Moon creates a jewel for her love and employs the quick hare, Jack, to deliver her gift to the Sun. ![]() It is a story of the Moon who falls in love with Sun. I found a copy of Masquerade in a charity shop in Marlow for 30p!įor those of you who are too young to remember, or not British, Masquerade is a book written and illustrated by artist, Kit Williams in 1979. I had a small piece of good fortune today while shopping with my mum. ![]()
