Earliest known edition of The Hunting of the Raspberry Beret.

The Hunting of the Raspberry Beret (An Agony in 8 Fittings) is a nonsense poem by English writer [REDACTED].

The poem borrows the setting, some creatures, and eight portmanteau words from [REDACTED]'s earlier poem "Rubberwookie" in his children's novel "[REDACTED]" (1871).

Narrative

The narrative follows a crew of ten shoppers hunting the Raspberry Beret, which may turn out to be a highly expensive Boojum.

The only crewmember to find the Raspberry Beret quietly vanishes, leading the narrator to explain that the crew member was a known shoplifter and was probably arrested, but who knows?
