Caerdroia 52 - the Journal of Mazes & Labyrinths

The 52nd edition is now available and contains a study of seven newly discovered stone labyrinths in western central India, in the same region as the four that were previously reported in Caerdroia 50; a charming illustrated page in a Danish magazine from the 1930s; the reason that early rat mazes were based on the Hampton Court maze design; an unusual labyrinth from northern Finland; a garden maze and several mirror mazes that were formerly in Stockholm, Sweden; the true location of an otherwise unidentified garden maze from Germany; the origin and design of the labyrinth on the façade of the Basilica de la Sagrada Família in Barcelona, Spain; the story of the 99 labyrinths designed by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd and the search for a turf labyrinth in Romania. Our Notes & Queries section rounds up labyrinths made of Lego, inlaid in the lid of an old writing box, painted on wooden chests and a report on a major labyrinth related exhibition in Oxford – as always, a packed and diverse edition. We also bring sad news of the death of Bo Stjernström, one of the pioneers of modern labyrinth research in Scandinavia.

* Unfortunately, as a consequence of the UK government choosing to withdraw from the European Union, we are no longer able to send printed copies of Caerdroia to addresses in Europe. Current customs procedures and collection fees imposed on small packages sent from the UK make it unfeasible to process orders to Europe. Hopefully this ridiculous bureaucracy that is now interfering with trade and the exchange of knowledge will be reversed in the future and normal service can be resumed in due course.

Meanwhile, a high resolution digital PDF of Caerdroia 52 can be supplied for £6 to European, and readers elsewhere in the world, via the Digital Order page.
