About this work
Seventh of Henry Holiday's original ilustrations to "The Hunting of the Snark" by Lewis Carroll.
From Fit the Fifth: The Beaver's Lesson. The Butcher and Beaver hear the song of the Jubjub bird, and this causes the Butcher to be reminded of his childhood, and begin a lengthy lesson to he Beaver. Afterwards, they become friends. As for the strange creatures:
The Beaver brought paper, portfolio, pens, And ink in unfailing supplies: While strange creepy creatures came out of their dens, And watched them with wondering eyes.
So engrossed was the Butcher, the heeded them not, As he wrote with a pen in each hand, And explained all the while in a popular style Which the Beaver could well understand. The rest of the lesson is pretty much complete nonsense.
