Product Description

Book Description
Labyrinths are found in rock, mosaics and turf all over the world, and seem to have been known to magicians from very ancient times.
In the traditional designs no choices are offered to the seeker, the path simply delivering the walker to the centre in a certain way.
But what does it mean? Can you really get lost in a Maze? What have gremlins got to do with it all? And the Minotaur? This tiny book of graphic beginnings, endings and lanes in between is a beautiful and thought-provoking guide to this fascinating subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a Puzzle Book, 12 Oct 2001
John Martineau has presented, in this beautifully bound little book, a comprehensive guide to some of the most unique mazes and labyrintyhs in the UK. Each black and white diagram is accompanied by text giving a brief history of designer and design of the maze. More interestingly, Martineau offers the reader two simple designs which can be practiced on the 'back of an envelope' as a doodle, and shows that they develop, by stretching and multiplication, into the the most complicated mazes and labyrinths.
Although I bought the book with the intention of building a garden maze (for which it is an excellent guide), I will constantly dip into it for meditational purposes, to get the kids to trace the lines with their finger and maybe, one day, plan something for the garden.
