Ruth is Stranger Than Fiction

Episode 28 - Masquerade Part 2: Catherine of Tarragon


Listen Later

The golden hare has been discovered and the story of Masquerade seems to be over - but is it? No! There are more twists and turns to come. First up, we hear about the legacy of Masquerade and the rise in popularity of armchair treasure hunts. Then, scandal unfolds after the precious hare comes to light at a Sotheby’s auction in 1988… we also drink a surprisingly tasty (aren’t they always?) herby concoction. Delicious!
