The Hunting of the Snark, Lewis Carroll's classic
masterpiece of nonsense verse, takes the
reader on a wonderfully witty and inventive
hunt for the ever-elusive Snark. The
tantalizing mysteries of the poem are here
perfectly matched in these brilliant new
illustrations by artist Mahendra Singh, who
has created a visual treasure hunt, full of
riddles, puns, and allusions.
When asked what his poem meant, Carroll
would always reply that he did not know. But,
on one occasion, he did write to friends that
perhaps "... the whole book is an allegory on
the search for happiness."
"To seek it with thimbles, to seek it with care;
To pursue it with forks and hope,
To threaten its life with a railway-share;
To charm it with smiles and soap!"
