foul of the Jabberwock? The Bandersnatch? The Jub-Jub Bird? And, finally, the big question: what precisely is a SNARK ?? David Elliot’s hero, the Boots, here reveals the whole truth for the
first time, from his recruitment to the Snark expedition, to his return from a journey of unimaginable, death-defying adventure ... In this charming book for grown-up children of all ages,
David Elliot is at his spellbinding and artistic best.
