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.","brand":"Prometheus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47210049208575,"sku":"9780879755836","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_39543868-16c3-4529-a5a0-3b3e20d38b8e.jpg?v=1765302148","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780879755836","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
