@ideas4writers.bsky.social In Dave Haslett's 'The Date-A-Base Book 2026', the 150th anniversary of Lewis Carroll and Henry Holiday's 'The Hunting of the Snark' is missing. The official publishing date was 1st of April in 1876. #Anniversary #Anniversaries #Anniversaries2026 #2026Anniversaries

Regrettably, to James Lindsay (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_M...), the 150th anniversary of Lewis Carroll and Henry Holiday's 'The Hunting of the Snark' in Spring 2026 seems not to be worth mentioning. The Boojum is back again. The Snark tragicomedy (snrk.de/snarkhunt) deserves more attention.

#HeadsUp #TheHuntingOfTheSnark #150thAnniversary @josietturner.bsky.social and @kimberleynyam.bsky.social , how will @panmacmillan.bsky.social celebrate the 150th anniversaries of "The Hunting of the Snark" in October 2025 and April 2026?

Rethinking the Snark snrk.de/fact-checks/

Today I made a discovery which lets me assume that the meaning of "snark" in 1831 was not too different from how we use the term today. bsky.app/profile/snar...

This also shows that the term “Snark” is older than Lewis Carroll (C. L. Dodgson).

Whoops. Kim Nyamhondera (@panmacmillan.bsky.social's Senior Publicity Manager) didn't like my #HeadsUp.

Heads up! How will @panmacmillan.bsky.social celebrate the coming 150th anniversaries of "The Hunting of the Snark"? #SnarkHeadsUp

Via instagram to BBC Radio 3: You already missed two 150th anniversaries (bsky.app/profile/snar...) of "The Hunting of the Snark". Please at least celebrate the 3rd one, the publication of the tragicomedy in March/April 1876. How about rebroadcasting your 2020 radio play (snrk.de/snark-radio-...)?

The BBC probably didn't get it. Lewis Carroll and Henry Holiday's "The Hunting of the Snark" is a masterpiece which deserves more attention. (At least a curator of the British Museum understood Henry Holiday's game: bm.snrk.de)

Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

Almost every reader of "The Hunting of the Snark" thinks that the hunting party consists of 10 Snark hunters. How unhinged is the opinion that there are only 9 hunters in Lewis Carroll's Snark tragicomedy? bsky.app/profile/snar...

That event takes place on occasion of the 150th anniversary (on 25th of October 2026) of the naming of Lewis Carroll and Henry Holiday's tragicomedy "The Hunting of the Snark". Is that Munich artists society the only one worldwide where that anniversary (snrk.de/150th-snark-...) is celebrated?

There are three important 150th anniversaries of “The Hunting of the Snark”. @panmacmillan.bsky.social already missed two of them. snrk.de/150th-snark-...

#October25 20251025 150th Anniversary #OTD : On October 25th, 1875, Lewis Carroll decided to use “The Hunting of the Snark” as the title of his Snark tragicomedy. See also: snrk.de/150th-snark-... #TheHuntingOfTheSnark #LewisCarroll #HenryHoliday

@panmacmillan.bsky.social, 2025-10-24 Deep Thought still is searching for the question which yields the answer "42". In the meanwhile you could work on reissuing "The Hunting of the Snark" on the 150th anniversary of its publication by Macmillan in 1876

@panmacmillan.bsky.social, HEADS UP! How will Panmacmillan celebrate the 150th anniversaries of Lewis Carroll and Henry Holiday's "The Hunting of the Snark"? Is there anything which lets you hesitate to celebrate the anniversaries of the Carroll and Holiday's masterpiece? #SnarkHeadsUp

Another problem with Lewis Carroll tattoos if they are popular quotes: Lots of them are wrong. Or they aren’t original Carroll quotes.

All of us are hunting Snarks in our pursuit of happiness (snrk.de?s=PursuitOfH...). But once you found the Snark, it might have turned into a Boojum. In fascism, even the hunters are Boojums.

My favourite thing is to look at something and say "huh".

Something to look at and to say “huh”. It’s a finding also mentioned by a curator of the British Museum (bm.snrk.de). bsky.app/profile/snar...

Henry Holiday’s illustrations to “The Hunting of the Snark” contains lots of such allusions. @panmacmillan.bsky.social seemingly doesn’t get it. They already missed one of the 150th anniversaries of #TheHuntingOfTheSnark. Oct. 25th is the next one. snrk.de/150th-snark-...

I am hunting the Snark. My main hunting grounds are Henry Holiday's illustrations to Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark". The shortlink bm.snrk.de leads you to my most important finding.

Heads up! The British Council is celebrating British arts for a global audience. How will @britisharts.bsky.social celebrate the coming 150th anniversaries of Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark" with Henry Holiday's masterful illustrations? #SnarkHeadsUp

There will be another essay in 2026.

@georgetakei.bsky.social , as an artist you might be open to this proposal. How about letting artists in Chicago, Portland etc. decorate the “training grounds” for the trainees? Let‘s entertain them peacefully. Trump might hate it. The misused troops might love it.

Every Carrollian must insinuate themselves ever deeper into industry, government, military, public institutions, etc. Time to take back this planet! Back to the trees! Get off my lawn! #TheHuntingoftheSnark #LewisCarroll #GN #PenandInk #PearlsBeforeSwine #MelvilleHouse

That page of your Snark GN is about the taxonomy of the beast, which is quite applicable to a world ruled by Boojums. bsky.app/profile/snar...

Carroll might have used the time difference between his home and the Snarks location to give a hint where this location might be. bsky.app/profile/snar...

I rearranged some verses in Lewis Carroll and Henry Holiday's tragicomedy "The Hunting of the Snark":

In an illustration to Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark" with allegorical depictions of two women as "Care" and "Hope", the illustrator Henry Holiday alluded to a Dutch 17th century print with allegorical depictions of two women as "Religion" and "Liberty". #Rijksmuseum #BritishMuseum

#TheHuntingOfTheSnark #ThomasCranmer I think that Thomas Cranmer is one of the persons represented by the "Baker" and that C. L. Dodgson's (Lewis Carroll's) feelings about Cranmer were ambivalent. bsky.app/profile/snar...
