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 canspend 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 thenumber even by crossing out one letter?- See if you can change one letter of SNAIL to make a word that describes asound made by certain wild animals. Next, try changing the firsttwo letters of SHARK to one letter and make a four-letter wordthat describes a sound made by a certain tame animal.Young Snark-hunters have been sailing along with that extraordinary sea-going crew in search of a Snark since the poem was first published a century ago. And Martin Gardner's Snarkteasers are sure to make their fantastic voyage more enchanting than ever before. A delightful dividend for Snark fans is the text of another famous Carroll poem, \"Jabberwocky,\" complete with Sir John Tenniel's famous drawings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Gardner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0879755830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780879755836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prometheus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.25w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1990 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw","brand":"Martin Gardner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965699997951,"sku":"9780879755836","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e89fe27-61a7-469c-868c-bf22ab52a0f4.jpg?v=1767284199","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/snark-puzzle-book-martin-gardner-9780879755836","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
