This Tale originally appeared as a serial in The Monthly Packet, beginning in April, 1880. The writer's intention was to embody in each Knot (like the medicine so dexterously, but ineffectually, concealed in the jam of our early childhood) one or more mathematical questions—in Arithmetic, Algebra, or Geometry, as the case might be—for the amusement, and possible edification, of the fair readers of that Magazine.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Risse. Soubor deseti kratkych humornych povidek vychazel v letech 1880-1885 jako serial v casopise. Lewis Carroll skryl do kazdeho pribehu nejmene jeden hlavolam z aritmetiky, algebry ci geometrie, a jeho tehdejsi ctenari mu posilali vice ci mene seriozni reseni. Dosle odpovedi Carrollovi poslouzily nejen pro vyklad daneho matematickeho ukolu, ale take jako prilezitost k dalsim hrickam a hratkam, jez tvori druhou cast knihy. Zamotany pribeh ma veskery sarm a duvtip Carrollovych proslulych del a podle mnohych ctenaru je dokonce nejzdarilejsim autorovym pokusem o kombinaci humoru a matematiky.
