A Tangled Tale

A Tangled Tale (1885) by Lewis Carroll is a delightful collection of ten mathematical puzzles presented in the form of stories. The book is typical of Carroll’s playful approach to logic, language, and mathematics, weaving humor and whimsical tales around problems that invite the reader to solve them. Carroll, best known for his works Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, was a mathematician as well as a writer, and A Tangled Tale showcases his dual talents for both storytelling and logic.
