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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMartin Gardner \u003c\/b\u003e(1914 - 2010), the creator of \u003ci\u003eScientific American\u003c\/i\u003e's \"Mathematical Games\" column, which he wrote for more than twenty-five years, was the author of almost one hundred books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Annotated Night Before Christmas, The Annotated Snark, Martin Gardner's Favorite Poetic Parodies, From the Wandering Jew to William F.
