Bandersnatch
A bandersnatch is a fictional creature in Lewis Carroll's 1871 novel ''Through the Looking-Glass'' and his 1874 poem ''The Hunting of the Snark''. Although neither work describes the appearance of a bandersnatch in great detail, in ''The Hunting of the Snark'', it has a long neck and snapping jaws, and both works describe it as ferocious and extraordinarily fast. ''Through the Looking-Glass'' implies that bandersnatches may be found in the world behind the looking-glass, and in ''The Hunting of the Snark'', a bandersnatch is found by a party of adventurers after crossing an ocean. Bandersnatches have appeared in various adaptations of Carroll's works; they have also been used in other authors' works and in other forms of media. Description Carroll's first mention of a Bandersnatch, in the poem "Jabberwocky" (which appears in ''Through the Looking-Glass''), is very brief: the narrator of the poem admonishes his son to "shun / The frumious Bandersnatch", the name describing the cr ...
