The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony, in Eight Fits
Illustrated by Henry Holiday
"The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony, in Eight Fits" by Lewis Carroll is a nonsense poem written between 1874 and 1876. A crew of ten oddly-named members embarks on a peculiar voyage to hunt the mysterious Snark, a creature that may prove to be a deadly Boojum. Armed with a blank map and cryptic warnings, they navigate strange encounters and mounting danger. When one crew member finally locates their quarry, he vanishes without trace, confirming their darkest fear about the Snark's true nature.
