A jewelled golden hare, which captivated the nation in a 1979 treasure hunt, is set to go under the hammer for the first time in almost 37 years, with an estimated value of £15,000 to £20,000.
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.
