The King Snake
1968

A young adult nature novel about the life and adventures in survival of a North Carolina king snake, from the time of his hatching until he becomes adult. The story shows the way he lives, how he catches and eats his prey (including other snakes, even poisonous ones), his value in the balance of nature and the fascinating events of his life, shedding new light and understanding about the lives of snakes, which, despite their value to man, are so often misunderstood and deliberately killed just because of what they are. Originally published in hardcover in 1968 by Little, Brown & Co., Boston, Mass. Having gone out of print several years ago, the book has recently been reprinted in a softcover books-on-demand format by iUniverse.com, Lincoln, NE, and may be ordered by calling their toll-free number, 1-877-823-9235.
