A Tangled Tale is a delightful collection of ten mathematical stories written by Lewis Carroll, the celebrated author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. First published serially between 1880 and 1885 and later compiled into a single volume, the book presents a series of whimsical yet intellectually stimulating tales, each centered around a perplexing mathematical problem or “knot.” Carroll’s unique blend of wit, logic, and playful narrative style invites readers into a world where logic puzzles and wordplay intertwine with eccentric characters and absurd situations. Each story, or “knot,” introduces a new cast of characters—ranging from the befuddled Aunt and her inquisitive nephews to the enigmatic Mad Gardener—who find themselves entangled in curious predicaments that can only be resolved through careful reasoning and mathematical insight. The problems span a variety of topics, including arithmetic, geometry, logic, and probability, challenging readers to unravel the solutions alongside the characters. Carroll’s ingenious storytelling is complemented by his sharp sense of humor and his ability to make complex mathematical concepts accessible and entertaining. The book also includes detailed answers and explanations for each puzzle, allowing readers to test their own problem-solving skills before delving into Carroll’s solutions. A Tangled Tale stands as a testament to Lewis Carroll’s passion for mathematics and his talent for making learning an engaging adventure. It remains a beloved classic for readers of all ages who enjoy the thrill of a good puzzle, the charm of Victorian wit, and the joy of intellectual discovery.
