The Hunting of the Snark

Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark (An Agony in 8 Fits) is a comic poem about a group of adventurers hunting a legendary beast. It borrows occasionally from Carroll's short poem "Jabberwocky" in Through the Looking Glass, (especially the latter's creatures and portmanteau words), but it is a stand-alone work, first published in 1876 by Macmillan. The Illustrations were by Henry Holiday.
