Book Description
Through this work, the writer aimed to provide puzzles for home amusement and influence people to consider the different difficulties met in business and trade. These puzzles will prove helpful in some cases to prepare the readers for dealing with the practical puzzles and problems of everyday life. It has been proven many times that one can learn the truth more quickly when it is put before them in an enjoyable manner than when brought forward in the usual conventional way, and that's why the author produced a "sugar-coated mathematical pill" for the common public. It's a fun way to learn finance in business and trade.

Book Description
Once upon a time in the Land of Muse, King Falmore needed to find a bride. Called the Puzzle King because he loves to put puzzles together, King Falmore spends so much time with his puzzles that he hasn't had time to find a queen. So he calls on Sorbo, his sorcerer, to find him a princess to marry. The only requirement King Falmore wants in his queen is that she must love puzzles as much as he does. As Sorbo searches for a princess bride, he looks in his library filled with books of magic and secrets. Sorbo opens some ancient books to help in his quest, but finds them to be very dangerous. Meanwhile, Sorbo finds a princess who is herself a puzzle. Princess Daisy is a beautiful girl who has been trapped in puzzle form. Only a person who truly loves her can put her back together again. The king himself solves the puzzle of the princess, placing her most important puzzle piece in place. That of her heart. Author Bio: Author Nina Cordelia Craft loves to tell children's stories. "I was putting a puzzle together with my two granddaughters, Cheyenne and Jamie Lee, and told this story to them one night.

She is working on her next book, The Puzzle Princess.
