《獵蛇鯊記》用絕妙的詩歌講述了Bellman和他古怪的船員出海尋找最神秘和最難找到怪獸蛇鯊的故事。這些船員包括：一個屠夫、一個面包師、一只海貍和一個裁縫。本書的插圖來自《姆明谷》的創作者Tove Jansson，正文為Lewis Carroll的原始英文文本。讀者們可以通過歐洲最優秀的插畫家的眼睛重新欣賞這場奇妙的冒險。
"The Hunting of the Snark" relates in glittering verse the story of how the Bellman and his eccentric crew, who include a butcher, a baker, a beaver and a tailor, set off in quest of that most mysterious and elusive of creatures, the Snark. In 1959 Tove Jansson, the creator of Moomin Valley and its magical inhabitants, was commissioned to illustrate a Swedish edition of Lewis Carroll's miniature masterpiece. It proved an inspired choice, as the enigmatic charms of Jansson's illustrative style bring to life the beauty and strangeness of Carroll's tale. The minds of two of the greatest children's authors of the past 150 years meet on the page. Remarkably, amid the success of Tove Jannson's Moomin books, her unique edition of "The Hunting of the Snark" was forgotten, and has been unavailable for over fifty years. Now, for the first time, these beautiful illustrations are matched with Lewis Carroll's original English text, so that readers can encounter this wonderful adventure afresh through the eyes of one of Europe's finest illustrators.
