I've found references to boojum trees and, as boojum being a particularly nasty snark, which is a creature invented by Lewis Carrol in 1951.
The book I am reading dates from 1939, so it definitely isn't the snark,
Can anybody help?
Carroll Wrote The Hunting of the Snark in 1876 - he was LONG dead by 1951. The boojum you read about was almost certainly a reference to Carroll's creation.
