Synopsis
Lady Whistledown is no match for Lady Dover! Will you measure up or wilt in fear of her conundrums and charades?
This exquisite collection of dozens of Regency Riddles, created by an anonymous talented scribbler, reproduces an 1822 book compiled by John Winter Jones (1805–1881), an English librarian who became the first President of the Library Association in the United Kingdom. Divided into three sections, it includes riddles made up of short rhymes, "charades," which are riddles with a simple three-line structure (my first is x, my last is x, my whole is x), and conundrums, which are similar to 19th-century dad jokes, with the solutions included neatly in the back. Fans of Netflix sensation Bridgerton, Jane Austen, party games, and compelling puzzles will love these entertaining brainteasers.
- Delight in dozens of riddles, charades, and conundrums authentically reproduced from a rare 1822 compilation.
- Immerse yourself in the cultural backdrop loved by bookish, film, and streaming fans of Bridgerton and Jane Austen.
- Decode poetic clues, reconstruct word meanings, and challenge your mind with clever short rhymes and wordplay puzzles from the Regency period.
- Brainteasers are arranged in three sections: riddles, charades, and conundrums.
- A surprise section contains riddles and charades in foreign languages—French, Latin, and Italian.
- Laugh and ponder over the 19th-century conundrums, akin to the era's witty "dad jokes."
- Solutions are provided in the back for an engaging and frustration-free experience.
Whether for personal amusement or as a party game, this exquisite treasure trove of puzzles combines history and entertainment, offering a perfect way to pass the time with friends and family, and even share on social media.
