First published in 1876, The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits is one of Lewis Carroll’s most delightful and mysterious works of nonsense literature.
A peculiar crew of ten unlikely adventurers sets sail on a strange expedition to hunt the elusive Snark. Led by the confident Bellman and guided only by a completely blank map, their journey takes them through curious landscapes filled with odd creatures, baffling logic, and playful absurdity. Yet beneath the humor lies a quiet tension, for rumor has it that the Snark may actually be something far more dangerous—a Boojum.
Blending whimsy, satire, and imaginative wordplay, Carroll crafts a poetic adventure that has fascinated readers for generations. Both humorous and haunting, the poem invites listeners into a world where logic bends, language dances, and the unexpected waits just beyond the fog.
Beautifully narrated by Clare Staniforth, this classic work of Victorian nonsense comes vividly to life for modern listeners.
