They've made their way to the island: a place of the jubjub and the bandernatch,and even the jabberwock. And,after the Bellman gives clear warning of the dangers ahead,the hunt begins . . .They sought it with thimbles,they sought it with care;They pursued it with forks and hope;They threatened its life with a railway-share;They charmed it with smiles and soap.First published by Macmillan more than 150 years ago,Lewis Carroll's iconic work has been loved and enjoyed by generations of children the world over.
