An ingenious book, declared the \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe, \u003c\/i\u003e magnificent for those who like conundrums, amusing for those who don't, and a tribute in itself to the genius of Lewis Carroll. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaymond Smullyan received his PhD from Princeton University and taught at Dartmouth, Princeton, Indiana University, and New York's Lehman College.
