![]() ![]() Very obviously, Carol from The Running Hare and also Liz of Dandelion Daydreams. 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. ![]()
