Filled with many of the portmanteau words developed for his poem \"Jabberwocky,\" \u003ci\u003eThe Hunting of the Snark\u003c\/i\u003e is a delightfully strange tale of mystery and adventure. Often read as an allegory for everything from tuberculosis to the endless quest for happiness itself, \u003ci\u003eThe Hunting of the Snark\u003c\/i\u003e, much like the Snark itself, refuses all description. \"'Just the place for a Snark!' the Bellman cried, \/ As he landed his crew with care; \/ Supporting each man on the top of the tide \/ By a finger entwined in his hair.\" Driven more by rhyme than reason, the adventure opens \u003ci\u003ein medias res\u003c\/i\u003e, introducing its varied crew of men and beasts of questionable use: a Boots, a Barrister, a Broker, a maker of Bonnets and Hoods, a Billiard-maker, a Banker, and, of course, a Beaver. Sailors all, they sail into the unknown. The Snark they search for may not be a Snark, could be a Boojum, and may very well be deadly. Intrepid and wisely foolish, they set out to comb the island for the Snark, armed with tricks and bribes, \"smiles and soap,\" and all the other instruments of hope. Playful and strange, the Snark eludes us all. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Lewis Carroll's \u003ci\u003eThe Hunting of the Snark\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic work of English literature reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA crew of bravely foolish men sets out in search of the fabled Snark.
