		Kit Williams, author of Masquerade, the best-selling treasure hunt book, last night conceded for the first time that he had been “conned,” along with the thousands of enthusiasts who had chased its prize, an elusive golden hare.
		While admitting to questioning Williams over some of the 30,000 letters, she denies that she ever knew, or wanted to know, where the hare was hidden.
		Unfortunately, Kit's astronomical calculations were a tad incorrect and he had buried the hare a few feet to the left.

		Williams is the penultimate animator's animator and he tells it like it is. Williams systematically demystifies virtually every aspect of animation from simple walk cycles, to breaking joints to dialogue and acting.

	Masquerade & The Mysteries of Kit Williams
		Kit Williams spent time in the Royal Navy and worked with electronics during his younger years, but eventually found his calling of painting.
		A collection of Kit's work, Out Of One Eye: The Art Of Kit Williams, was published in 1986 and is now out of print--as are the hardcover editions of his two treasure hunt books--but I've seen all three in libraries, and you can also get them from used-book supersites like Advanced Book Exchange or Bibliofind.
		Williams learned that one of the teachers and his wife had actually visited Ampthill back in January but, realising that they would need an inclinometer to measure the slope of the land, they went home and made one, in wood and cardboard, returning to the site on February 18.

		English-born artist and subsequent author, Kit Williams, arrived at his success in a seemingly roundabout manner, however, with one look at the vibrant photos of this obviously eclectic male, it is no wonder that his work became such an obsession for Americans in the early eighties.
		Williams comments that at eleven people believed, " ' little Kit Williams could neither read nor write and was headed for digggin' and double diggin'" (Shenker 119).

	The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams \| PopMatters Book Review
		And Williams writes about true animation, not the herky-jerky stop-and-start style you see in the Flintstones and so much of the cheaper anime out there right now, but the real work that causes one to wonder and marvel at the screen as the pictures unfold before you in a believable and frighteningly life-like manner.
		Ultimately, what Williams hopes to accomplish with his book is to inspire others to also create great animation, to invent as well as be believable.
		Williams' book is also sprinkled throughout with his many varied and often amusing anecdotes, full of great trivia and many stories about the animating greats that Williams was fortunate to have worked with in his more than forty years of being in the business.
