From the harmless and shy European grass snake to the fierce and deadly taipan of Australia, this book is a superb introduction to the stealthy world of these secretive creatures.
Evocative text and stunning artworks show a wide variety of snakes in different habitats across the world-an Indian king cobra guarding its eggs against elephants, the deadly Western diamond-back rattlesnake warning off intruders in the deserts of the USA, the African Gaboon viper camouflaged in leaf litter in Africa. A book to stun, surprise and savour.
