| Description: | Select Guide Rating Wildlife warrior, professor of snakes, entertainer, Olympian: John Cann is a truly remarkable Australian. Written in John's engaging and affable voice, The Last Snake Man tells the story of John and his fascinating family, who entertained Australians for nearly a century with their incredible snake shows. Every Sunday for almost a century John Cann''s family ran the famous snake show in a pit at La Perouse in Sydney - an area once alive with tiger, brown and black snakes. After growing up with over 300 ''pet'' snakes in their backyard, John and his brother George took over the snake show from their parents in 1965. By the time John retired in 2010, he''d survived five venomous snake bites. |
