Re:Ask HN: Best books on understanding recursion? by deepaksurti on Wednesday June 22, 2016 @03:47AM (#11952167)
I would recommend Chapter 8 of `Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction` by David T. [1]

It is the most lucid explanation of recursion using the story-telling format.

After working through this chapter, I have never failed to write/understand programs using recursion.
