This book combines the thrills of the world's best-loved stories and legends with the kind of fun and challenging mazes all children love. With this book of mazes you can share the exciting escapades of your favorite characters.

There are 23 stories in all, adapted especially for this book, and every story has its own full-page maze and special decorative border. At the end of each story are instructions for the maze; at the end of the book are solutions showing the shortest possible route for each maze (though there can be more than one solution). And all the mazes and borders can be colored any way you like.

The mazes are in four levels of increasing difficulty. In Level I you enter the long-lost Mystic Caverns.

Level II consists of a maze of tunnels built by an ancient race of dwarves, and inhabited by a harpy, a fire demon, a sea serpent, an evil wizard in search of a magic ring, and worms hundreds of feet long. This level is filled with secret passages, which you can enter to emerge in another section of the maze. Level III is alive with sorcery. The bones of dead warriors clatter in the tunnels; berserker warriors destroy all but their own kind. In these caverns you'll find a magic warrior with the power to see through any disguise or illusion, the rarest jewel in the world, and other prizes, but to snare them you must choose weapons to use against ghosts, skeletons, and warriors. Only the bravest and most skilled adventurer should dare Level IV.
