A mystery, a treasure hunt, clues, betrayal, and buried treasure - do you remember the tale of Masquerade?
The country became obsessed with finding the bejewelled golden hare, clues to which were hidden within a storybook with intricate colourful pictures by an artist called Kit Williams. The treasure was eventually traced to a park on the outskirts of the Bedfordshire town where I did my shopping. So near yet so far!
It's now 40 years since "Masquerade" gripped the country's imagination, but reading about it brought it all back!
