The Pattern in the Carpet

A Personal History with Jigsaws

Margaret Drabble
‘This book started off as a small history of the jigsaw’, writes Margaret Drabble, ‘but it has spiralled off in other directions’. Beginning with her personal introduction to jigsaws as a child, Drabble interweaves memories and reflections on her own life with a history of the jigsaw, tracing its roots back to early card and board games and contemplating topics such as pastimes, play, childhood and memory.
