Abstract
THE first half of this delightful book consists of ten chapters, or “knots,” as they are labelled by the author. Each of these contains a quaint and humorous description of some romantic episode, imagined in order to furnish occasion for proposing certain ingenious mathematical problems to the younger actors in the drama.
A Tangled Tale.
By Lewis Carroll. With Six Illustrations by Arthur B. Frost. Pp. 152. (London: Macmillan and Co., 1885.)
