The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits by Lewis Carroll
4.0
I am a fan of Lewis Carroll, but I had never read the entire poem of "The Hunting of the Snark." So I was delighted to receive this new edition of the poem illustrated by Oleg Lipchenko from Library Thing Early Reviewers.
The poem is, of course, typical Carroll nonsense. A bit of math, a bit of natural history, some nice rhythm and crazy characters who have no explainable relationship with one another. The set off on an adventure to find the Snark and bring it in.
Lipchenko's art work is perfect for the story. For just a taste, compare the front cover of the book with the back cover. One can see that the voyage was a rough one! If you are a fan of Carroll's, I think this is a great addition to your library.
