Synopsis
Following the popularity of The Curious History of the Crossword, The Curious History of Mazes presents readers with an interactive history of mazes, coupled with challenging puzzles to give readers hours of tangled and educational fun. The Curious History of Mazes presents the history of many types of mazes and the role they've served through history, plus a collection of mazes for you to solve yourself. From prehistoric times, mazes and labyrinths worldwide have served as different symbolic, ritualistic, and practical purposes. Taken as a powerful metaphor for life's journey, they can be used as tools for meditation and learning at any level, even when completed for recreation. Maze images can be enjoyed as motifs themselves, but also in their material forms-a meditation, puzzle, dance, walk, ritual, pilgrimage, or simply a day out.
