The Snark Puzzle Book

Martin Gardner

While walking on a hillside, an unusual line occurred to Lewis Carroll: For the Snark was a Boojum, you see. Carroll later incorporated the phrase into a complete work that became the best-known nonsense poem of all time: The Hunting of the Snark . What could be more of a delight to young readers? Here in one book is Carroll’s famed poem with its original illustrations by Henry Holliday, side by side with Martin Gardner’s Snarkteasers - delightfully puzzling questions like these: can you rearrange the letters of ocean to spell something in which one can spend days in the ocean? But if the ocean is frisky, it’s risky. Seven is certainly an odd number of coats to be wearing. Can you make the number even by crossing out one letter?
