A beautifully designed, celebratory gift book, 80 Years of Cryptic Crosswords is a unique collectors edition. Since the first ever cryptic crossword was published on July 30, 1925, this diurnal puzzle has been challenging, infuriating and entertaining thousands of readers. Notoriously addictive, these crosswords are a unique testament to the development of the English language and the Telegraph newspaper, as well as the key historical events of the twentieth century. Beginning with the very first crossword and ending with a specially created puzzle for 2005, this anniversary edition interweaves history, narrative and anecdote.
