Merry's book of puzzles ; Robert Merry's second book of puzzles ; Robert Merry's book of rhymes
A compiled children's amusement volume of puzzles, word games and rhymes, published in New York by Thomas O'Kane and credited to J. N. Stearns and Robert Merry, aimed at young readers. The pictures are small black-and-white wood-engraved vignettes showing a boy at a well, letter-shaped puzzle pieces mixed with objects, a seated mother and child pointing, and children blowing bubbles; a designer might borrow their compact, cheerful, rule-free charm for playful puzzle layouts.
