Composed in heroic couplets and full of riddles, puns and mysteries, Carroll's darkest nonsense poem has famously been said to describe 'with infinite humour the impossible voyage of an improbable crew to find an inconceivable creature'. A crew of 10 members, all beginning with the letter 'B' cross the ocean in search of the elusive 'snark' - guided by a blank piece of paper they use as a map. Now, in a labour of love, illustrator and long-standing Carroll fan Mahendra Singh has given his own, graphic novel rendition of this classic.

Finally, some pictures to go along with my Snark!

I've always found "The Hunting of the Snark" to be one helluva challenging piece of nonsense, which is why Mahendra Singh's illustrated version is such a welcome addition to the Lewis Carroll library. The visual stimulation provided by Mr. Singh's meticulous and stylized drawings were a key factor in getting a "lay" reader like myself to keep turning the pages, and may even encourage a younger generation of (albeit precocous) readers to hunker down and find out what this "Snark" is all about........

Well worth the purchase

This Surrealist, GN version of Lewis Carroll's Snark is quite complicated, actually, with lots of picture puzzles and references to various famous artworks (illustrated by Mahendra Singh). However, the complicated part should not put you off. Carroll's verses are a lot of fun, just perfect for kids or adults who enjoy poetry and jokes! The "nonsense" is delightfully presented even though at times I found it a little deep and broody. This is not a book for kids or parents who are looking for something along the lines of the famous 1951 Disney animated Alice in Wonderland. Perhaps it's a bit closer to Tim Burton's vision of Carroll's nonsense, a bit dark and complicated. Perfect for art students and kids thinking about a career in the arts as it's a well-conceived survey of Surrealism and more. En fin, I would say it's about us adults indulging in our dumbness and as parents or teachers enjoying the quality time reading to the kids.

Tis version of Snark is made better by the illustrations. As others have noted, this edition is more Tim Burton than Disney. Thoroughly enjoyed and recommend.
