1985-1994
A collection of stunningly illustrated logic conundrums
George Shannon
Illustrator Peter Sis deserves as much credit as George Shannon for this series, with some beautiful, fitting ink drawings accompanying each mystery.
Puzzles are typically only 1-2 pages, and are the "His father is my father's son" style conundrums. Amazingly, every single page is given it's own unique illustration that cleverly surrounds the text, resulting in a stunning series of books, if quite simple on their puzzle format.
