Note:
10 stories:
"Knot I" to "Knot X" and "Answers to Knot I", etc
The ten brief, humorous, mathematical stories --each evidently followed after some time by its Answer discussion-- were first published as an occasional series in Charlotte M. Yonge's magazine The Monthly Packet of Evening Readings for Younger Members of the English Church, from April 1880 to March 1885 (unillustrated).
The 1885 book contains revisions, a preface by Carroll, and illustrations by Arthur B. Frost.
Knots III, V, VII, and X feature "overbearing aunt Mad Mathesis" and her niece.

Synopsis:
"This Tale originally appeared as a serial in The Monthly Packet, beginning in April, 1880. The writer's intention was to embody in each Knot (like the medicine so dexterously, but ineffectually, concealed in the jam of our early childhood) one or more mathematical questions—in Arithmetic, Algebra, or Geometry, as the case might be—for the amusement, and possible edification, of the fair readers of that Magazine."
--entire Preface, closing "L. C." and "October, 1885." (viewed as Project Gutenberg Ebook #29042)
