The Lewis Carroll Puzzle Book

Lewis Carroll, Brian David Sibley

Step through the looking glass, into a world where logic and imagination intertwine in the most curious ways . . .

This expertly-curated book collects the best puzzles written by the author of Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll.

Lewis Carroll was a mathematician who loved puzzles of all kinds, invented the word ladder, delighted in acrostics and riddles and posed twisty maths and logic questions in his most famous works, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

Mind-bending and utterly charming, this celebratory collection of puzzles and games includes delights such as Doublets (word ladders) and Syzygies (a more elaborate form of the word ladder), Mirror Writing, Arithmetical Croquet as well as some of the most delightfully puzzling riddles from Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Enough to keep even the most curious of minds entertained for hours.

Plus, Chair of the Lewis Carroll Society, Brian Sibley, uses his expert knowledge to take readers inside the inimitable mind of Carroll, with a beautiful introduction and annotations throughout.

Packed with wit and nostalgia and illustrated with beautiful full colour imagery from John Tenniel - the original illustrator of Alice in Wonderland - this is the ultimate celebration of one of the most famous puzzlers of all time. The Lewis Carroll Puzzle Book is the perfect gift for both seasoned puzzlers and the Carroll-curious.
