Masquerade

Charming children's book , an "illustrated fantasy" where the moon falls in love with the sun & entrusts a precious jewel to a hare, who loses it, & the reader must solve the puzzle by finding the hidden hare in each picture. Three years in the making, the author painted all of the brilliantly colored pictures that accompany his story. Orig. published in Britain in 1979, this is the FIRST AMERICAN EDITION (1980), but the 9th printing from 1981. Oversized hardcover book has medium blue boards with gilt lettering to spine. Condition is Near Fine: just lacks that Brand New crispness! Completely clean & tight, pages white & unmarked, colors vivid. The unclipped DJ is Near Fine: bright & colorful with a tiny bit of edgewear to top of front cover & a 1/2" unclosed tear descending from top edge of back cover; no chips or fading; beautifully protected in new mylar cover free!
