"The Hunting of the Snark" relates in glittering verse the story of
how the Bellman and his eccentric crew, who include a butcher, a
baker, a beaver and a tailor, set off in quest of that most
mysterious and elusive of creatures, the Snark. In 1959 Tove
Jansson, the creator of Moomin Valley and its magical inhabitants,
was commissioned to illustrate a Swedish edition of Lewis Carroll's
miniature masterpiece. It proved an inspired choice, as the
enigmatic charms of Jansson's illustrative style bring to life the
beauty and strangeness of Carroll's tale. The minds of two of the
greatest children's authors of the past 150 years meet on the page.
Remarkably, amid the success of Tove Jannson's Moomin books, her
unique edition of "The Hunting of the Snark" was forgotten, and has
been unavailable for over fifty years. Now, for the first time,
these beautiful illustrations are matched with Lewis Carroll's
original English text, so that readers can encounter this wonderful
adventure afresh through the eyes of one of Europe's finest
illustrators.
