«Mazes and Labyrinths in Great Britain» is John Martineau's guide to mazes in Britain, in hardback from Wooden Books (64 pages, in English).
Explores the mazes and labyrinths of Britain: designs in rock, mosaic and turf, and the geometric principles behind them. It distinguishes the classical labyrinth, with a single path to the centre, from the maze with dead ends, and considers their symbolism, possible links to ancient magic and legends such as the Minotaur.
Part of the Wooden Books series. This hardback edition was published in February 2005; the original text dates from 1996.
Aimed at a general audience interested in British history, art and culture, and at enthusiasts of landscape architecture and symbolism.
