The Hunting of the Snark (Warbler Classics Illustrated Edition) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Lewis Carroll’s The Hunting of the Snark introduces readers to a curious crew of ten unconventional characters—Boots, the Bellman, a maker of Bonnets and Hoods, the Barrister, Broker, Billiard-marker, Banker, Beaver, Baker, and Butcher—united on a daring expedition to capture the enigmatic Snark. Their odyssey commences with a voyage across the sea guided by the Bellman's cryptic map of the Ocean (a blank sheet of paper), culminating in their arrival at a surreal destination. Carroll’s narrative is a playground of wit and linguistic acrobatics, enchanting readers with each stanza as it weaves a tale brimming with whimsy and riddles. This Warbler Classics edition features all of the first edition illustrations by Henry Holiday, including reproductions of his cover art, and a biographical timeline of Lewis Carroll’s life.
