Littlewood's Miscellany, which includes most of the earlier work as
well as much of the material Professor Littlewood collected after
the publication of A Mathematician's Miscellany, allows us to see
academic life in Cambridge, especially in Trinity College, through
the eyes of one of its greatest figures. The joy that Professor
Littlewood found in life and mathematics is reflected in the many
amusing anecdotes about his contemporaries, written in his pungent,
aphoristic style. The general reader should, in most instances,
have no trouble following the mathematical passages. For this
publication, the new material has been prepared by Bela Bollobas;
his foreword is based on a talk he gave to the British Society for
the History of Mathematics on the occasion of Littlewood's
centenary.
