Alice in Puzzle-Land : A Carrollian Tale for Children Under Eighty

Characters from Alice's "Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" populate these 88 intriguing puzzles. Mathematician Raymond Smullyan re-creates the spirit of Lewis Carroll's writings in puzzles involving word play, logic and metalogic, and dark philosophical paradoxes. The challenges range from easy to difficult and include solutions. An Introduction by Martin Gardner and 60 charming illustrations enhance the text. It is a reprint of the Penguin Books, New York, 1987 edition.

Raymond Smullyan received his PhD from Princeton University and has taught at Dartmouth, Princeton, Indiana University, and New York's Lehman College. Best known for his mathematical and creative logic puzzles and games, he is also a concert pianist and a magician.
