Alice in Wonderland Collection by Lewis Carroll

wanderingstories's review against another edition

3.0

The Hunting of the Snark, or as I would call it "The Misadventures of the bizarre companionship who venture to hunt a Snark".

This is another 'mad' story from Lewis Carroll where we meet Beaver, Butcher, Banker, and the Bellman who travel together to find a snark.

It certainly is a lyrical and crazy poem with some good illustrations.

I might re-read this...

audryt's review against another edition

This is a brand new edition of the long-forgotten Tove Jansson illustrated edition of The Hunting of the Snark. Really glad I heard about it! It's a slim little volume that will fit on any shelf and the illustrations are, of course, terrific.

tsundokued's review against another edition

This was a re-reading, and was completely worth it. I could gush about these two books forever. I noticed that there were a lot of things in the books which I did not understand when I was younger, and I did not appreciate any of the poetry earlier either. I don't think it should be considered a children's book, because, really, it isn't. It just isn't that much fun if you read it when you're six or seven.
Helen Oxenbury's illustrations are so great! Google her. I especially love the pic of the Dormouse telling the story in the first book.
Everybody out there! Re-read these books! You won't regret it.
