What is The Annotated Snark; The Full Text Of Lewis Carroll's Great Nonsense Epic, The Hunting Of The Snark about?

The Annotated Snark (Bramshall, 1962, 111 pages) was based on another Lewis Carroll classic, The Hunting of the Snark (1876). It included the full original text with illustrations by Henry Holiday, interspersed with extensive notes, an annotated Bibliography, and an Appendix. The "suppressed" drawing of a Boojum makes its first appearance in a book.Martin opened his 15-page Introduction with these words, "Although Lewis Carroll thought of The Hunting of the Snark as a nonsense ballad for children, it is hard to imagine—in fact one shudders to imagine—a child of today reading and enjoying it."He goes on to quote Chesteron to the effect that Carroll should be read by "sages and gray-haired philosophers."
