What is Big Snake : the Hunt for the World's Longest Python about?

<p>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 <i>Daily Telegraph</i> 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.</p> <p>A few years ago, Twigger hit upon his latest adventure when he found a provision offering a 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. <i>Big Snake</i> is the story of that event, and exciting tale of audacity and courage sure to find a place on the shelf of every armchair adventurer.<br> </p> <p><b>About the Author:</b></p> <p>Robert Twigger was educated at Oxford, where he won the Newdigate Poetry Prize. As well as writing books, he is a regular contributor to <i>Esquire</i>, <i>Maxim</i>, the <i>Daily Telegraph</i>, and the <i>Financial Times</i>. He lives in London.</p>
