This book is a compilation of some of the world's favourite jokes and puzzles told over decades and centuries. There are French jokes, English tales and contributions from America. The puzzles and card tricks are amusing and entertaining. The reader will be amazed as to how easy the puzzles and the card tricks are. They are as simple to solve as the egg of Christopher Columbus. The great man demonstrated how to stand a raw egg on its small end by cracking the shell at the small end then standing the egg on the cracked part of the shell. He explained: "It's easy, but you need to think of it first." Mauritian humour is mixed, and it is this mix that the author hopes to have achieved in "Favourite Jokes and Puzzles for the Family."
