A. B. Frost Knihy

Soubor deseti krátkých humorných povídek vycházel v letech 1880–1885 jako seriál v časopise. Lewis Carroll skryl do každého příběhu nejméně jeden hlavolam z aritmetiky, algebry či geometrie, a jeho tehdejší čtenáři mu posílali více či méně seriózní řešení. Došlé odpovědi Carrollovi posloužily nejen pro výklad daného matematického úkolu, ale také jako příležitost k dalším hříčkám a hrátkám, jež tvoří druhou část knihy. Zamotaný příběh má veškerý šarm a důvtip Carrollových proslulých děl a podle mnohých čtenářů je dokonce nejzdařilejším autorovým pokusem o kombinaci humoru a matematiky.
