Book Synopsis Riddles, Ancient and Modern by : Mark Bryant
Book excerpt: "In this unique book Mark Bryant has collected hundreds of the best riddles of all time, drawn from sources throughout the world. They range from simple jokes about fleas and worms enjoyed by earthy peasants to highly sophisticated puzzles composed by some of the greatest names in the world of letters, from Schiller, Swift and Cervantes to Edgar All Poe, Lewis Carroll and J.R.R. Tolkien. To introduce this anthology, Mark Bryant traces the history of riddles from their origins in pre-classical antiquity to modern times."--Jacket.
