Mazes and Labyrinths

Nigel Pennick

The labyrinth has held an important place in human consciousness for millennia.

Here is an account of ancient rock and turf labyrinths, pavement and church labyrinths, puzzle hedge mazes as well as modern innovations in Britain and Europet.

Symbolism, mythology, ritual, architecture and art combine in mazes and labyrinths. Labyrinths and mazes are a part of our heritage - but we know not why they were made nor their purpose.

Nigel Pennick investigates the significance of these mysterious pathways and suggests that perhaps they evolved as an expression of the meaning of life? ...a convoluted path which ultimately reches it's goal.

The labyrinth has attracted renewed interest in modern times - this book explores mazes and labyrinths in all their aspects.
