About the Book

“This intriguing book takes an in-depth look at mazes from all over the world.” - Alan Titchmarsh “Prepare to get lost in the world of labyrinth and maze-making in this attractively packaged book that looks at the history of mazes.” - Gardens Illustrated Mazes have been a part of civilization for at least 4,000 years, and there are more being built now than ever before. What is it about these magical life-size puzzles that continues to intrigue us? This beautifully illustrated book will delight lovers of mazes, acting as a guide, directory and puzzle book combined. Specially commissioned illustrations by Thibaud Hérem represent 60 real and imagined mazes from around the world, with a bird’s eye view of each maze so that readers can make their own journey. Each maze is also accompanied by a fascinating and witty short history. A must-read book for fans of Red Thread: On Mazes and Labyrinths by Charlotte Higgins and Follow This Thread: A Maze Book to Get Lost In by Henry Eliot

“with vibrant spot colours, sprayed edges, and restrained typography enclosed within maze-like boarders, it’s easy to get lost in.” "In this new book, Angus Hyland and Kendra Wilson pay homage to an endlessly fascinating subject, examining 6 0 real and fictional mazes from across the world. Each story is accompanied by intricate drawings by French illustrator Thibaud Herem."
