The Hunting of the Snark, subtitled An Agony in 8 Fits, is a poem by the English writer Lewis Carroll. It is typically categorised as a nonsense poem.

Carroll left the meaning of the Snark deliberately vague refusing to answer questions about its meaning until finally he admitted that it was intended to be a parable about the search for happiness. The poem was published on April 1st 1876 (the date chosen with care being April Fools Day)
Illustrated by Henry Holiday.
