The definitive guide to one of the most baffling epics of nineteenth-century literaturea companion to *The Annotated Alice*.*"It's a Snark!"for whatever else can it be?"* Published on April Fools' Day in 1876, Lewis Carroll's *The Hunting of the Snark* remains one of the most amusing and bizarre works of modern verse. Carroll, who completed this classic poem eleven years after the publication of *Alice in Wonderland*, invites readers along on a fictitious hunt to determine whoor whatthe Snark actually is. More than 130 years later, the indomitable Martin Gardner returns to the Snark with a trove of new annotations and illustrations, uncovering some of the most confounding literary, linguistic, and mathematical references embedded in any of Lewis Carroll's many works. Included in this gorgeous, two-color volume is an introduction by Adam Gopnik, as well as Henry Holiday's distinctive, original illustrations, a substantial bibliography, and a suppressed drawing of the infamous Boojum. With a host of other Snark resources, this is the most ambitious work on Lewis Carroll's masterpiece in many decades. Two-color throughout; 56 illustrations.words : 4679
