"A Tangled Tale" by Lewis Carroll is an imaginative compilation of stories from the late 1800s where math meets mirth. Characters like wandering knights and brainy teachers face tricky scenarios calling for serious smarts. Picture this: knights trek up a mountain, and a simple question about their trip turns into a brain-bending puzzle when the older knight dares the younger to untangle a mathematical riddle. Landladies and the character Balbus weave into the mix, setting the stage for stories where numbers and narratives playfully collide.
