This puzzle would have been great if it was at least 1/3 bigger - it was too difficult to read the words at this size.

Puzzle was a nice challenge. I did not use the figure to help solve and realized that I don't know the British Isles as well as I thought!

In A.J. Jacobs' latest book titled "The Puzzler", (highly recommended, as usual for Jacobs: very documented and entertaining at the same time) there is an origin found to the art of puzzle: "Most historians believe the first puzzles were created by a British mapmaker named John Spilsbury. Sometime around 1760, Spilsbury glued a paper map onto a wooden board and carved up the countries. [...] Spilsbury sold his "dissected maps" to British nobility as a geographic aid." Aha! So here I am, not British nobility but certainly in need of some geographic aid. And learning I did! Yes, for example, Jurassic Coast?! Limerick is a real city?! There is a Bristol Channel?! Etc. This puzzle is full of whimsies and really fun and interesting to assemble.

I’m working this British map puzzle as I watch/listen to all the coverage of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. This is a favorite puzzle that I’ve worked many times. I enjoy the large piece count without too much difficulty in completing it. I especially enjoy the abundance of UK whimsies!

This was more challenging than I expected and had more whimsies than other Artifact Puzzles I've done. Brought back fun memories of tramping around London after college. Took me about four afternoons, with a little pecking at it in-between times.
