Spydle

After Murdle comes Spydle... Following last year''s bestselling phenomenon, the National Archives and Britain''s leading puzzle writing duo, Dr Gareth Moore and Laura Jayne Ayres, have teamed up to produce a brand new puzzle book which promises to perplex and excite with tales of espionage and intrigue.

Drawing on five centuries of British spycraft and cryptography, from Sir Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth I''s very own ''spymaster'', through to the interception of the Gunpowder Plot, Mata Hari, Agent Zigzag, Bletchley Park, MI5 and GCHQ, each puzzle will be inspired by real-life events and artefacts, some never before revealed to the public, taking the reader on a tour that will educate, excite and leave them scratching their heads.<>
