World of Crosswords No. 53 The Puzzle Wizard

Issue No. 53 (Spring 2012) of the popular World of Crosswords by The Puzzle Wizard. World of Crosswords, first published in 1999, is a quarterly crossword book owned and based in Australia. The aim of the publisher, Greg Parker, is to provide a book of high-quality Australian crosswords at the best possible value. Indeed, each issue to date has included over six-and-a-half thousand clues (in the crosswords alone, not counting the variety of other puzzles). The crosswords, at least eighteen each of giant, large, and quick, are designed to provide a mental stimulus without proving too difficult. The clues cover a variety of different subjects, stretching worldwide and through the ages, all the time retaining an Australian point of view.
