Mazes

Author: Adrian Fisher and Diana Kingham
Pages: 32
Cover: Softbound
Dimensions: 6" x 8 1/2"
Item #: BK939
Price: $8.95
Mazes and labyrinths have been a preoccupation of mankind for thousands of years; (anyone who has seen the Labyrinth can vouch for that) and are currently enjoying a new wave of popularity. Maze designs have been carved in rocks, laid as Roman mosaics, cut into turf and represented in flower beds and topiary. This book traces the history of mazes worldwide from the earliest examples to mazes existing today. It features such fascinating little-known facts as during their long history, mazes were used a means of warding off evil, a method of ensuring fertility, and a focus of village festivities. It also features countless clear black and white photos of these mystifying works of arts. Be careful, because you won't be able to put this fascinating book down once started.
