| 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.
