Review: Jump aboard the Lady of Shalott's boat and set yourself adrift. The start of your journey will be pleasantly smooth: Putting together the Lady, her tapestry, and the distant landscape is not too difficult. But then the coal-colored bow of the boat reaches the equally dark, inky water of the river, and suddenly you're caught in a whirlpool of solid black, hard-to-match puzzle pieces that may have you circling for hours. (Nevermind that some of the dark pieces that you think should go in the water actually belong to the shadowy trees onshore.) Eventually the river's murky eddies spit you out and into some tall, tan reeds: They are not easy to assemble, but at least they're not black! At last you're at the braided edge.... In Tennyson's poem, the Lady is under a mysterious curse that keeps her trapped in her tower and weaving incessantly on her loom. You'll be under the curse too, as lacing together this tricky border will have you glued to your seat for quite some time. Of course, if you choose to set out in the opposite direction, by completing the border first and then working inward, that will give you a different sojourn altogether! In any case, if you enjoy pastimes that whisk you away to imaginary lands in bygone days, you cannot go wrong with this elegant puzzle.
