"It's a Snark!"…for whatever else can it be?" Published on April Fools' Day in 1876, Lewis Carroll's *The Hunting of the Snark* remains one of the most amusing and bizarre works of modern verse. Carroll, who completed this classic poem eleven years after the publication of *Alice in Wonderland*, invites readers along on a fictitious hunt to determine who—or what—the Snark actually is. More than 130 years later, the indomitable Martin Gardner returns to the Snark with a trove of new annotations and illustrations, uncovering some of the most confounding literary, linguistic, and mathematical references embedded in any of Lewis Carroll's many works. Included in this gorgeous, two-color volume is an introduction by Adam Gopnik, as well as Henry Holiday's distinctive, original illustrations, a substantial bibliography, and a suppressed drawing of the infamous Boojum. With a host of other Snark resources, this is the most ambitious work on Lewis Carroll's masterpiece in many decades. . W.W.
