How Come?: A Book of Riddles

by Agnes Rogers

This Is A Scarce And Interesting Book, A Stated First Edition. The Jacket Talks About How Come, The New Party Game. When You Look At The Book, Though, You See What Jed Hartman Describes As 'Situation Puzzles,' Which I Can Remember Hearing In The Late 1960'S, And Here Many Of Them Are In This Book Published In 1953. The Riddles Often Deal With Murder And Death. For Example, Riddle 12, A Wife Deliberately Gave Her Husband Something To Eat Which, Although It Was Not Poisonous, Was The Direct Cause Of His Death. Upon Inquiry This Fact Was Established; However She Was Not Arrested Or Prosecuted. How Come? The Book Contains 50 Of These (And The Answers, As Well As Entertaining Drawings By New Yorker Cartoonist Carl Rose).
