Snark: Being a True History of the Expedition That Discovered the Snark and the Jabberwock...And It's Tragic Aftermath
This is a really neat book. First, it's rather large (it could probably pass as a coffee-table book.) Second, the artwork in it is really good. The book has the Snark poem in it but it's sandwiched between various other sections which describe the characters, how the hunt came about, details about the ship itself, what the Boot saw when he was alone on the island along with what happened to each of the members of the crew.
The entire thing fits the 'atmosphere' of the original poem although it adds and actual ending to the story itself. It's kind of like a horror story in a way mixed with some science fiction. The story is very well done, entertaining and makes sense. A definite must for any Alice in Wonderland collector.
