Produktbeschreibung
Clever Clues and Anagrams contains 100 new cryptic crossword together with solutions. Each of the puzzles comprises a 15 x 15 grid with clues of a standard familiar to those who complete the UK Daily Telegraph crosswords. Cryptic Crosswords are only concerned with rows about burial arrangements in the twisted minds of clue writers! But alternative word meanings such as these allow puzzle-setters to devise clues with a surface meaning which appears to have absolutely nothing to do with the actual solution. Fortunately, the English language is full of words with double meanings that can be used to put solvers off the scent in a deliberately deceptive, and often comical, manner. Anagrams provide further opportunities for confusion and deception so that the fattish charmer's rearrangement in the puzzle on the front cover can initially hide the appearance of Father Christmas. This collection of 100 cryptic puzzles will provide crossword sleuths with ample opportunity to detect and decipher complex anagrams while correctly interpreting the most devious of double meanings.

Autorenporträt
The author is an academic who has spent 40 years in universities in UK and Australia, the last 16 of those as Professor of Accounting at institutions in both countries. A career devoted to teaching, research, publication and supervision has produced 15 books, over a hundred refereed journal articles and 22 successful doctoral completions, mostly for supervisees with English as their second language. The author's greatest contributions to the accounting literature have been in the analysis of corporate narratives in order to predict corporate behaviour (in particular bankruptcy), and the use of case studies to formulate a system of non-financial indicators to describe management performance.
