Mazes and Labyrinths

Mazes and labyrinths are the meeting-places of symbolism, mythology, ritual, architecture, and art. Nigel Pennick investigates the significance of these mysterious pathways and asks if they evolved as an expression of the meaning of life. This is a complete account of ancient rock labyrinths and turf mazes, church labyrinths, puzzle hedge mazes, and modern innovations in Britain and on the Continent.
