In paperback, the book that touched off the treasure hunt of the century-with a full explanation of the Masquerade Riddle.
For three years, treasure-seekers from both sides of the Atlantic sought a fabulous golden hare buried by artist Kit Williams. Williams had devised an unusual guide to the hare's whereabouts: a multilayered riddle that he told in a fairy tale of his own imagining, and presented in dazzling, cryptic, paintings.
When the hare was finally unearthed by a British engineer, many were left wanting to know exactly how the clues worked out. In this paperback reprint of Masquerade, the author supplies an illustrated preface that pulls the strings, finds the goal, and points to what's important: the village chemist's daughter, the atomic weight of the elements, the shadows of the equinox, Henry VIII's first wife. Williams explains how numbers and colors correspond to the intricate ballet, and how the eyes really do see the answer. And of course, here are the magical pages that tell the tale of Jack the hare, and his journey to the sun. They are still there to discover, ponder, rediscover. And understand at last.
Suitable for ages 7 and up. 73,000 copies in print. [via]

"I have never been able to shut my eyes without seeing pictures, persistent projections showing details of tantalizing new things to make. Even as a small child my fantasies were about getting pictures out of my mind, through my hands, and into reality. It was as if the only way I could feel myself to be alive was to surround myself with things of my own invention." Kit Williams
Out of One Eye is a spellbinding voyage into the mind and artwork of Kit Williams, author of Masquerade, the phenomenal best seller that had all the world hunting a buried treasure!
Kit Williams, a uniquely versatile painter and meticulous craftsman, leads us on an extremely personal guided tour of his exquisite creations. Completely self-taught, Williams reveals the full extent of his many skills in Out of One Eye, describing for readers, in words and full-color pictures, the thoughts, techniques, and inspiration behind each piece of art. He discusses an early failed effort that taught him the importance of method and style; his experiments in working the frame of the painting into the subject; and his combination of paint and woodwork to produce magical and delicate orbs, cabinets, and triptychs. Out of One Eye is a rich, absorbing look at one of today's leading artists. [via]
