About the Author: 

Hubert Phillips (1891–1964) was a British economist, journalist, and prolific puzzle creator. He was known for his wide-ranging intellect and wit, which he applied equally to serious economic commentary and recreational puzzle-making.

Phillips was a respected academic and public figure:

  • He was an economist and university lecturer

  • A prominent bridge player and writer, co-authoring several bridge books

  • A regular contributor to British newspapers and magazines on both economics and puzzles

Under his real name and pseudonyms (including "Caliban"), he authored many puzzle books that blended humor with intellectual challenge. His works were admired for their clever design and accessible explanations.

My Best Puzzles in Logic and Reasoning remains a testament to his legacy as one of the great popularizers of logic and recreational mathematics.
