A jewelled golden hare that sparked a national treasure hunt in 1979 could fetch an estimated £15,000 to £20,000 when it appears at auction for the first time in almost 37 years.
The necklace was inspired by Jack Hare, the central figure of Kit Williams’ picture book Masquerade, which became a publishing sensation not only for its exquisite pictures and charming story but the clues it contained to locate the artefact Williams’ had created and buried.
