## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Essential for Lewis Carroll fans
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 8, 2002*

Lewis Carroll was in "real life" Charles Dodgson, lecturer in mathematics at Oxford University and author of books on geometry and logic.  Mathematics intrudes into his children's books, especially Sylvie and Bruno.  There is nobody better qualified to explain this side of Lewis Carroll to the non-mathematician than Martin Gardner, author of the Annotated Alice and for many years the compiler of the Mathematical Puzzles column in Scientific American.  This book will delight Carroll's many fans and may intrigue many who would not normally be attracted to children's fiction.  I also recommend the two books on Lewis Carroll's puzzles by Edward Wakeling; as a professional mathematician, he brings a complementary perspective.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Top Notch Puzzle Book
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 12, 2017*

Quite an interesting book of puzzles.  If you like Martin Gardner (and who doesn't) this is an excellent book based on Lewis Carroll's brilliant mind.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent honors Geometry project!
  

*by M***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 21, 2010*

I use this book as the basis for an honors project for my high school Geometry class.  I teach a lesson about Lewis Carroll and his various logic puzzles and word ladders.  This book is an excellent source for research and other games/puzzles to use with my students.
