masquerade . . . by kit williams

a programme on the radio today

about the book "masquerade" (do you remember it?)

bought back happy memories

the beautifully illustrated "masquerade"

by kit williams was published in 1979

it was a tale of the moon & her love for the sun

hidden amongst the wonderful paintings were

clues to a real treasure hunt to find a golden hare

i was 17 back then & enthralled by this unique book

mom & i spent hours trying to solve those riddles.

you can read this amazing books tale here

and see the puzzles solved

in '82 a second book "untitled"was published

this riddle being to find the books name

i treasure my precious copies of both books

for their exquisite paintings,

the incredible details & hidden clues

& because it was these very books that

began my fascination with allegory & symbolism

(though now both out of print, it is possible to find copies still)
