Once Upon a Prime: The Wondrous Connections Between Mathematics and Literature by Sarah Hart

informative lighthearted medium-paced

3.25

I don't think i was the target audience for "Once Upon a Prime" by Sarah Hart. I did find a couple of nuggets of mathematical and/or literary lore in this volume but I found much of it to be a bit trivial or retreads of information presented better elsewhere. That said if you are looking for a good general introduction to mathematics in literature, you may find this book entertaining and educational. For my money one of the best parts were the variety of titles that she either analyzed, mentioned or recommended.
