While walking on a hillside, an unusual line occurred to Lewis Carroll "For the Snark was a Boojum, you see." Carroll later incorporated the phrase into a complete work that became the bestknown nonsense poem of all time "The Hunting of the Snark."What could be more of a delight to young readers? Here in one book is Carrolls famed poem with its original illustrations by Henry Holliday, side by side with Martin Gardners "Snarkteasers" delightfully puzzling questions like these Can you rearrange the letters of OCEAN to spell something in which one canspend days in the ocean? But if the ocean is frisky, its risky. Seven is certainly an odd number of coats to be wearing. Can you make thenumber even by crossing out one letter? See if you can change one letter of SNAIL to make a word that describes asound made by certain wild animals. Next, try changing the firsttwo letters of SHARK to one letter and make a fourletter wordthat describes a sound made by a certain tame animal.Young Snarkhunters have been sailing along with that extraordinary seagoing crew in search of a Snark since the poem was first published a century ago. And Martin Gardners Snarkteasers are sure to make their fantastic voyage more enchanting than ever before. A delightful dividend for Snark fans is the text of another famous Carroll poem, "Jabberwocky," complete with Sir John Tenniels famous drawings.
