Living in a time marked by rapid societal changes, Carrolls whimsical narrative style often satirizes the rigidity of Victorian norms, while embodying a playful curiosity that mirrors the intellectual debates of his era. His passion for both the mathematical and the fantastical culminate in "The Hunting of the Snark," which stands as a testament to his innovative spirit. For readers seeking to delve into the absurdity of human nature and the complexities of dreams and reality, "The Hunting of the Snark" offers a captivating journey.

The book begins: Pickerings letter bringing news of my grandfathers death found me at Naples early in October. John Marshall Glenarm had died in June.
