Henry Holiday's surreal illustrations capture perfectly the delightful nonsense of Lewis Carroll's classic The Hunting of the Snark, a mock heroic poem in which the snark, a cross between a snake and a shark, is elusive and gives endless trouble. When eventually tracked down, it proves to be but a Boojum that "suddenly and softly vanishes away." A wonderful parable for our current times! Share this whimsical card with your friends this holiday season.
