This is so true - my mother giving me Kit Williams’ Masquerade may have had more impact on my becoming an artist than anything- because it was gorgeous and confusing and insanely well-made *by a human*.

The Masquerade hare had been expected to sell for between £10,000 and £20,000.
Competitive bidding culminated in it selling for £82,550.
Sotheby's added that it was purchased by a UK-based private collector.

Today's Wyrd Britain birthday honours go out to #nigelkneale (1922) - because 10 days ago, lots of folks insisted his birthday was today - also to artist #kitwilliams (1946) - author of 'Masquerade' - and to author #terrypratchett (1948) - creator of the Discworld.

Chuffed to find this at the weekend. Was obsessed as a kid with this magical book and the illustrations by Kit Williams - never seen this edition before that tells the story of its origins and who found the treasure 🐇🏴‍☠️ #masquerade #kitwilliams #treasurehunt
