Sobre IBD

The Hunting of the Snark (1876) was a fantastical 'nonsense' poem written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832 - 1898) and illustrated by by Henry Holiday. The poem explores the adventures of a bizarre crew of nine tradesmen and one beaver, who sets off to find the snark. It received largely mixed reviews from Carroll’s contemporary reviewers, but was enormously popular with the public, having been reprinted seventeen times between 1876 and 1908, and has seen various adaptations into musicals, opera, theatre, plays and music. Painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti reputedly became convinced that the poem was about him.
