Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, ""Lewis Carroll,"" was not only the
author of the beloved Alice tales but an inveterate and talented
creator of puzzles and games in both the recreational mathematics
and wordplay fields. Collected together for the first time in this
book, his charming and humorous creations are no longer hidden in
obscure Victorian magazines, rare antiquarian books, and sporadic,
incomplete collections. This fully annotated volume features such
delights as Carroll's word games Doublets (word ladders) and
Syzygies (a more elaborate form of the word ladder), a board game
called Lanrick, and other games and puzzles, including Circular
Billiards, Castle Croquet, String Wrapped Round a Cube, Backgammon
variations, Mirror Writing, Arithmetical Croquet, a Number Guessing
Puzzle, and much more. The volume has been edited, annotated, and
compiled by Christopher Morgan, who has added a section on
modern-day puzzles inspired by Carroll, and features an
introduction by Jeremiah Farrell. This is a fascinating and
delightful collection for lovers of wordplay, puzzles, and the wit
of Lewis Carroll. Distributed for the Lewis Carroll Society of
North America.
