Editing Kit Williams (section)

==Past work==

As well as his best-known book, ''[[Masquerade (book)|Masquerade]]'', Williams wrote ''[[The Bee on the Comb]]'', a puzzle book with a bee theme. The book was initially published without a visible title, and readers were challenged to work out the title from clues inside the book and send in their answer without using the written word. This competition ran for just a year and a day, and the winner was revealed on the live [[BBC]] TV chatshow ''[[Wogan]]''.

In 1985 Kit Williams designed the Wishing Fish Clock, a centrepiece of the Regent Arcade shopping centre in [[Cheltenham]], Gloucestershire, England. More than 45 feet tall, the clock features a duck that lays a never-ending stream of golden eggs and includes a family of mice that are continually trying to evade a snake sitting on top of the clock. Hanging from the base of the clock is a large wooden fish that blows bubbles every half-hour. Catching one of these bubbles entitles you to make a wish, hence the name of the clock. The clock has undergone essential restoration work and is back in full working order {{as of|2017|05|12|lc=y}}.

Other clocks designed by Williams can be found in [[Telford Shopping Centre]] and in the Midsummer Place section of [[Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre]].

Williams was also involved in the design of the Dragonfly Maze in [[Bourton-on-the-Water]], Gloucestershire, England, which comprises a [[taxus|yew]] [[maze]] with a pavilion at the centre.  The object is not only to reach the pavilion, but to gather clues as one navigates the maze.  Correctly interpreting these clues when one reaches the pavilion allows access to the maze's final secret.
