Mazes - Ancient and Modern (Paperback)

Over the last decade, mazes have been making the newspaper headlines and there has been a worldwide explosion in their construction. Not only in the form of traditional turf mazes of medieval times and hedge mazes, but modern mazes made in a wide variety of new materials including bricks, mirrors and water jets. Even enormous maize mazes which are cut out of fields of growing corn and which last for a single summer season. This book traces the history of the maze in all its forms and uses a mixture of photographs and drawingsto offer a fascinating insight into them.
