This book is a fantastically well written account of one of the world's most ancient symbols. The author does an excellent job of keeping the tone light and easy to read, an area in which most historians fail miserably. I flew through the book as I pondered each turn in the symbol's labyrinthine journey through history and found myself deep in the heart of a beautiful mystery. The author allows the reader to draw his or her own conclusions after leading them on a wonderful journey through time.
All you ever wanted to know about labyrinths - and then some.

Purchased this thinking it was by "the famous David Mccullough" but it turned out not to be a disappointment. Admittedly, the perspective of the book is quite narrow and it may not appeal to many. It is, however very well written, contains a multitude of links to other subjects and should therefore be of interest to history lovers - even if they do not care to learn the difference between a labyrinth and a maze.
