Sobre el libro Hunting the Snark de Lewis Carroll publicado por Tate al 2013:

Illustrations for Lewis Carroll´s much-loved nonsense poem by the creator of The Moomintrolls.

One of the 20th century´s greatest children´s authors illustrates one of the 19th century´s most original minds.

Unavailable for 50 years, now published in English for the first time.

"The Hunting of the Snark" relates in glittering verse the story of how the Bellman and his eccentric crew, who include a butcher, a baker, a beaver and a tailor, set off in quest of that most mysterious and elusive of creatures, the Snark. In 1959 Tove Jansson, the creator of Moomin Valley and its magical inhabitants, was commissioned to illustrate a Swedish edition of Lewis Carroll´s miniature masterpiece. It proved an inspired choice, as the enigmatic charms of Jansson´s illustrative style bring to life the beauty and strangeness of Carroll´s tale. The minds of two of the greatest children´s authors of the past 150 years meet on the page. Remarkably, amid the success of Tove Jannson´s Moomin books, her unique edition of "The Hunting of the Snark" was forgotten, and has been unavailable for over fifty years. Now, for the first time, these beautiful illustrations are matched with Lewis Carroll´s original English text, so that readers can encounter this wonderful adventure afresh through the eyes of one of Europe´s finest illustrators.

Durant prop de quaranta anys va ser professor de matemàtiques a Oxford, i juntament amb el també lògic George Boole va procedir a una axiomatización de la lògica. Però, sens dubte, el que li ha fet universalment conegut són les seves històries per a nens, històries on va desplegar tot el seu talent per a jugar...
