Great post, Martin. I had the book and I and my then boyfriend tried reasonably hard to solve the impossible puzzles - failed totally, of course! What I found particularly interesting about your post, though, was the comment from Bamber Gascoigne - an interesting insight into the mentality of people who become obsessed with things - thanks.
Very entertaining, Martin, I didn't know that about hares, like Amazon women. Somebody bought me the book of Masquerade when the craze started, but I couldn't understand the clues, just like I can never do cryptic crosswords ... wasted on me, perhaps I'll try boxing!
Oh my goodness. I had never heard of Masquerade and its shenanigans. People really are mad, aren't they? March hares must sit back and just shake their heads!
