Description
Labyrinths are found in rock, mosaics, and turf all over the world and seem to have been known to magicians from very ancient times. In the traditional designs, no choices are offered to the seekers; the path simply delivers the walker to the centre in a certain way. But what does it mean? Can you really get lost in a maze? What have gremlins got to do with it all? And the Minotaur?
This tiny book of graphic beginnings, endings, and lanes in between is a beautiful and thought-provoking guide to this fascinating subject.
