Larry Buttrose is a writer of such diverse talents that his output as a published author defies umbrella categorisation. Some might regard him first and foremost as a gifted poet whose literary works also include novels and plays. Others will know him as the author of travel books and popular non-fiction titles dealing with aspects of culture and history. As a journalist he is well known for his contributions to various major Australian publications. Most recently he has become known to many as the writing talent behind the non-fiction best seller A Long Way Home, which he co-wrote with Saroo Brierley and which was subsequently made into the award winning and Oscar nominated movie Lion.

When we approached author Larry Buttrose for the publishing rights to re-issue his novel The Maze of the Muse—originally published in 1998 by Flamingo, an imprint of HarperCollins—as an eBook, he revisited the manuscript and revised it extensively. The result is a distinctly new book but because we initially kept its original name, the eBook was being confused with the old paperback. To distinguish the new from the old, the eBook is now renamed The Muse of the Maze.
