Though Carroll&#8217;s peculiar wit and imagination are evident here, this work, unlike his earlier <I>Alice</I> books, is&#160;a much darker tale. Here, ten characters whose names begin with the letter B disappear, go mad, and find themselves struggling to navigate&#160;an impossible path through a nonsensical world. Throughout the poem there&#160;is a prevailing atmosphere of disorder and chaos, heightened by Carroll&#8217;s descriptions of grotesque creatures such as the Bandersnatch and the Jubjub bird and his characteristic use of invented words&#8212;such as uffish, beamish, and frumious.&#160;<BR><BR>The meaning of the poem, and of the Snark itself,&#160;has been the subject of much debate, but nevertheless it remains a fun and lively read thanks to its combination of strangeness and whimsy. This new facsimile edition of the&#160;1876&#160;original is richly bound in red cloth with gold embossing and features reproductions of the original illustrations by Henry Holiday. This edition of the <I>The Hunting of the Snark</I> will be a treasured gift and collector&#8217;s item for fanciful readers of all ages. </P>
