A Dark, Dark Tale

"Once upon a time there was dark, dark moor. On the moor there was a dark, dark wood. In the wood there was a dark, dark house".

"A splendid choice for group story time".--School Library Journal. American Bookseller Pick-of-the Lists. Full-color illustrations.

How to Tell the Liars from the StatisticiansHow to Tell the Liars from the Statisticians

. . .Hooke writes in a charming, relaxed style that is well suited for his purpose. 
---Journal of the American Statistical Association 
. . .What Hooke has done very deftly in his amusing book is to focus our attention on the problem of statistical education for the ordinary citizen. For this, we own him thanks.
