Crossword 088: Made or Marred

Edwin Longsden Long, The Gods and Their Makers
Edwin Longsden Long, The Gods and Their Makers

This week I unite the two parts of my website with a single title, shared by the novel and the puzzle.  I don’t think anyone has ever tried this before—recommending, that is, a Victorian novel with a certain title, and then making a crossword with that very same title.  Frankly, I’m a little nervous about it.  But no matter— every milestone in human progress involves some risk.
