The 1979 book tells a whimsical story about the moon sending a golden hare sculpture as a gift to the sun, with a rabbit named Jack Hare acting as the messenger. However, Jack loses the gift on his journey, and readers are challenged to find it themselves, in real life—prompting a national treasure hunt across Britain.
