The Hunting of the Snark by Lewis Carroll

5.0

This is a most excellent poem and I highly recommend it if you haven't heard of it. The joy of this edition was the unexpected fact that Tove Jansson had illustrated the Hunt - and here was the chance to enjoy the illustrations (and the poem again).

They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care;
They pursued it with forks and hope;
They threatened its life with a railway-share;
They charmed it with smiles and soap.

O frabjous day! to mix my Lewis Carroll up...
