Description

Before my birth I had a name,
But soon as birth I lost the same;
And when I'm laid within the tomb,
I shall my father's name assume:
I change my name three days together,
Yet live but one in any weather.

Lady Whistledown is no match for Lady Dover! Will you measure up or wilt in fear of her conundrums and charades?

This exquisite collection of dozens of Regency Riddles, created by an anonymous talented scribbler, reproduces an 1822 book compiled by John Winter Jones (1805-1881), an English librarian who became the first President of the Library Association in the United Kingdom. Divided into three sections, it includes riddles made up of short rhymes, "charades," which are riddles with a simple three-line structure (my first is x, my last is x, my whole is x), and conundrums, which are similar to 19th-century dad jokes, with the solutions included neatly in the back. Fans of Netflix sensation Bridgerton, party games, and compelling puzzles will love these entertaining brainteasers.
