About the book
One hundred and ten puzzles chosen from the five hundred and forty-four in Dudeney's two great books, arranged in seven parts by kind — money and markets, ages and clocks, digits and magic squares, cutting and fitting, counters and routes, combinations and the chessboard, and the tales of the Canterbury pilgrims. Every statement and every solution is Dudeney's own text from the 1907 and 1917 editions, with the original figures. Added: a 2,000-word introduction, an editor's hint for every puzzle that says where to look without giving the answer, a difficulty mark, editor's notes on the famous ones, a glossary of pounds, shillings and pence, a chronology of Dudeney's life, and a concordance back to the original numbering. 144 pages, 6 × 9 in.
