Secondhand. Drawings by Quentin Blake.

Folio Society edition with Quentin Blake’s full of character illustrations completing Carroll’s nonsensical verses. ‘They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care; They pursued it with forks and hope; They threatened its life with a railway-share; They charmed it with smiles and soap.’ Lewis Carroll’s magnificent nonsense poem The Hunting of the Snark features an unlikely cast of characters drawn from the Jabberwocky in Through the Looking Glass.

Fine copy, minor chips and light fading to the slipcase. Ex-libris plate on the front endpaper.
