From the publisher

Award-winning Oxford poet Robert Twigger has lived the stuff of daydreams. He has trained as a bullfighter in Spain, gone looking for bona fide zombies in Haiti, reported for the Daily Telegraph on chain gangs in Arizona, and has trained with the Tokyo Riot Police. And he's lived to write about his accounts, enthralling both thrill seekers and the adventurous of heart.

A few years ago, Twigger hit upon his latest adventure when he found a provision offering as substantial cash prize to the team who captured the world's longest snake. In 1997, he spent four months in the wilds of Indonesia where his team succeeded in capturing a 26-foot-long python, almost certainly a world record for a snake in captivity. Big Snake is the story of that event, an exciting tale of audacity and courage sure to find a place on the shelf of every armchair adventurer.
