Description
This is the 1981 calendar, relating to the famous 1979 treasure hunt book (printed before the 1982 reprint) … that caused a sensation at the time of publication, and then a minor scandal as it was alleged that the treasure was found using insider information and metal detectors …
instead of solving the puzzle. The treasure – a gold hare -was later sold at auction by Sotheby’s for over £30,000 to an anonymous bidder. It was eventually displayed at the V&A in 2012.
