Originally published in 1990 by Routledge, Dictionary of Riddles is
a collection of nearly 1500 of the most cryptic and entertaining
riddles from history. Drawn from sources throughout the world, the
collection ranges from earthy medieval jokes about fleas, worms and
vegetables to the sophisticated puzzles composed by literary
figures from Schiller, Swift, Voltaire, Rousseau and Cervantes to
Edgar Allan Poe, Lewis Carroll and J.R.R. Tolkien. The book traces
the history of riddles from their origins in antiquity through the
golden age of the Renaissance, to their decline into the nursery
and the first few signs of their modern revival, and draws together
all the strands of the riddling art. Dictionary of Riddles received
a Special Commendation in Reference Review's Best Specialist
Reference Books of 1990 Awards.
