Puzzles and oddities : Found floating on the surface of our current literature, or tossed to dry land by the waves of memory

A playful anthology of riddles, word‑games and paradoxes awaits, organized like a curious museum catalogue.

Whether you enjoy a quick mental snack or a longer puzzling session, this book offers endless opportunities to sharpen wit and share a smile with friends.
