"Gabriel Clutch was a thief and a liar but he was right about one thing. He told me he had a great secret in his collection that would shake the literary world to its roots if it ever got out." So begins the delightfully dark Snark, a tumultous romp through worlds created by Lewis Carroll and here brought to life through the vivid imaginings and ... art of ... author and illustrator David Elliot. What exactly did happen to the Snark expedition? Did his dagger-proof coat protect the Beaver from the Butcher? What befell the Boots in the Tulgey Wood? Who fell foul of the Jabberwock? The Bandersnatch? The Jubjub bird? And, finally, the big question: what precisely is a SNARK? David Elliot's hero, the Boots, here reveals the whole truth for the first time, from his recruitment to the Snark expedition, to his return from a journey of unimaginable, death-defying adventure"--Dust jacket.

Summary (part 1 of 2): The story follows the journey of a young ottermaid named Tiria Wildlough, born and raised in Redwall Abbey. Tiria was the daughter of Banjon Wildlough, the Skipper of otters. Martin the Warrior and High Queen Rhulain Wildlough appeared to her in a dream, saying the otters of Green Isle needed her assistance and leadership. After deciphering and scouring the Abbey for many clues with Old Quelt, Sister Snowdrop, Abbess Lycian, Brinty, Tribsy, and Girry, Tiria learned through another dream that she had to leave on her own, so she headed to Log-a-Log Urfa's encampment along with her father and Brink Greyspoke. Meanwhile, the ruling wildcat of Green Isle, Riggu Felis, and his sons Jeefra and Pitru attempted to kill the osprey Pandion Piketalon and failed, leaving Felis' face permanently disfigured. Pandion flew away from Green Isle and lost his way and found himself in Mossflower Woods. He was captured by a gang of rats, but was later rescued from Groffgut by Redwalle
