Sinopse
Características

The Haunting of the Snarkasbord is a dark, humorous parody of Lewis Carrolls The Hunting of the Snark concerning what followed the Bakers vanishing and the Crews continued hunt for a snark on Snark Island. Alison Tannenbaum wrote the poetry in Snarkasbord: A Crewsome Choice and also wrote notes on Byron W. Sewells illustrations for it. An introduction and Gardnerian-style notes have been written by August A. Imholtz, Jr in his inimitable style. This edition marks the first public publication of the poems The Booking, The Recrewting, and The Sailing-the three Missing Fits composed by Charlie Lovett. These were originally written for a secret English Snarkian Society, and were mentioned by Selwyn Goodacre in his The Listing of the Snark in Martin Gardners final version of The Annotated Hunting of the Snark. Hitherto, they have only ever been seen by the members or guests of the Society. In addition to his wonderful illustrations, Byron W. Sewell has contributed an original short story, , which tells what happened to the Baker from the viewpoint of the Boojum. Like Lovetts parodies, this short story has never before been seen by the public; it was issued in a very limited number to his Carrollian friends.
