My favorite of the stories in this anthology is "And He Built a Crooked House" by Heinlein. "The Island of Five Colors" by Martin Gardner is another good one. (

Collection of essays, short stories, lyrics and poems on Mathematics.

My introduction to the ideas of topology, the Mobius strip, Klein's bottle and the four color theorem. First read about 8th grade, my second copy.

Interesting math underlies short stories of varying quality. A good book for a young mathematician. (
