Summary "Merry's Book of Puzzles" by J. N. Stearns is a playful collection of riddles, conundrums, and other brain teasers likely written in the late 19th century. The work aims to amuse and engage young readers with delightful and thought-provoking challenges, promoting intellectual exercise through humor and wit. The opening of the book introduces a cheerful tone through the preface, where the editor, Robert Merry, expresses the goal of bringing joy and laughter to children's lives through puzzles. He aims to instruct and entertain, balancing fun and educational content. The beginning then presents a variety of puzzles, ranging from riddles about young ladies and arrows to questions about peculiar properties of objects, sparking curiosity and inviting readers to engage in playful deduction.
