Inhaltsangabe:
Starting with the first "Guardian" crossword in 1929, this book contains a selection of puzzles from the last 80 years of the "Guardian" newspaper including reader correspondence plus fascinating coverage of the setters themselves. This is a new book from the author of "Pretty Girl in Crimson Rose". This is a cryptic social history that reveals how world events have been reflected in the clues of the "Guardian" cryptic crossword since 1929. The result is both a humorous and affectionate telling of the twin stories of the paper and its puzzles, its setters and its solvers, its tempora and its mores.
