Summary: Only 34 pages long!
Comment: This is a nifty booklet but hardly a book. It's only 34 pageslong and I was disappointed. I expected more for $. It contains muchof the same information in Desmond Morris's book "Men and Snakes."

Summary: A book that reveals the truth about reptiles!
Comment: The plethora of myths, beliefs and lore regarding snakes is abundant and appears in all cultures. Many impressions and oft repeated misinformation about serpents embraces all recorded history. Much of the folklore about snakes in the U.S. is derived from Old World superstitions. Passed along in oral tradition from all regions of the world, the reptile is probably the most hated, feared and misunderstood animal of all creatures. More myths and misconceptions about snakes surpass the beliefs of any other common animal. This modest, readable booklet discusses all serpents, especially those of the South. Designed for easy reading, the text provides a wealth of fact, history and folklore of this maligned creature. It is an entertaining discussion that reveals truths about reptiles that are often more fetching than the legends and fears themselves. Quoted from "Come-All-Ye", Vol. 17, No.3 Fall 1996
