It\u2019s reminiscent of a parade, with bright and decorative people dressed as flowers and an accompanying piece of calligraphy.<\/p>\n<p><em>A Masque of Days <\/em>is about a dinner party where all the personified days of the year have been invited and then get into various shenanigans, fights, and mis-seatings. These characters are, again, dressed in beautiful costumes that only need a hint of information on what day of the year they are. Some featured characters include May Day, April Fools, and my personal favorite, the summer solstice (or \u201cLongest Day\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>I fully recommend browsing through these books.
