This deliciously quirky and deeply personal book does for London and crosswords what The Piano Shop on the Left Bank did for Paris and music.

He was introduced to a hobby that has ensnared millions: the cryptic crossword.

We meet legendary setters like Araucaria and Bunthorne, learn of great clues such as Amundsen s forwarding address (4), and travel the course of Balfour s life.
