Riddle by Lewis Carroll : autograph manuscript.

The document is undated. In Lewis Carroll's Games and Puzzles, the scholar Edward Wakeling identifies this riddle as having been written by Carroll for the magazine Mischmasch, which Carroll produced for his brothers and sisters between 1855 and 1862. See Lewis Carroll's Games and Puzzles, compiled and edited by Edward Wakeling (New York: Dover Publications, Inc., in association with the Lewis Carroll Birthplace Trust, 1992), page 46, for the reference.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson adopted the pseudonym "Lewis Carroll" in 1856 when publishing a poem in "The Train." He used the pseudonym when publishing Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and other works, but wrote under his given name, Charles Dodgson, when publishing mathematical works and in daily life. For administrative purposes, all manuscripts are collated under the name Lewis Carroll.
