I apologise for this intervention. Does anybody have information about Cathy Bowen, the author of the "Snark decoded" , a small book published in 1997?

The actual name is Cathy Bowern and she is the author of "The Snark Concluded" (1997) and a companion volume "The Snark Decoded" (1997). "The Snark Concluded" is illustrated by Brian Puttock (who I believe is Cathy Bowern's husband). Both have lived on the Isle of Wight since 1972, after both graduating in Fine Art in 1971.
"Concluded" starts with the full text of the Snark with Puttock illustrations, followed by Cathy Bowern's sequel, which is ""the Agony, Extended by a Further Eight Fits", also illustrated by Puttock. In "Decoded", the full text of the Snark and the sequel are reprinted, now with full notes by Cathy Bowern on both. If more information is needed, I'm happy to supply it as I have both books.

THe Carrollian printed a long article about the Snark being about TB. Carroll's godson was dying at the time he first thought up the idea. Some of the references seemed a little far fetched but I wondered whether anyone else has thoughts about the Snark's references to illness.

How much and where do we write to get a book, please?

Thanks Doug. I misread as BOWEN so no wonder I didn't find anything.
