      abstract = {This book is the first study of Persian literary riddles  to appear in English, analysing a wide range of complex  riddling poems systematically from the tenth to the twelfth  century. In addition to the genre of riddles, the book  examines the relationship between metaphors and riddles and  the genre of literary description. Riddles belong to the  oldest genre in many literary traditions.
