About
This collection is sure to appeal to lovers of cryptic crosswords, those devilishly ingenious puzzles in which each clue is a mini-puzzle by itself, offering two separate paths to the answer. It reprints the first 60 cryptic crosswords to appear in The Nation from constructors Joshua Kosman and Henri Picciotto, beginning when they took over from longtime constructor Frank W. Lewis in 2011. In addition to inventive clues, many of these puzzles include a mini-theme to tie the enterprise together. "Even if the country boasted a hundred different weekly cryptic crosswords, the *Nation* puzzle would stand out. It flies its own flag and pipes its own tune. It makes the world less dreary and more cheery." -- Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon, cryptic crossword constructors for *The Wall Street Journal*
