Editorial Reviews

Snakes, edited by Willee Lewis reprints dozens of classic poems and stories about mankind's ancient enemy, starting with Eve's temptation by the serpent in Genesis. But that's only a start, as Lewis ranges from the Sherlock Holmes classic "The Speckled Band" and Kipling's "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" to Paul Bowles's disturbing "Allal" and Roald Dahl's "The Green Mamba."
