About this book
Snake and Sword is a 1914 novel by Percival Christopher Wren (1875-1941), written a decade before Beau Geste made him famous. Set largely in British India, where Wren himself served in the Indian Education Service, it follows Damocles de Warrenne, a soldier's son haunted from childhood by a terror of snakes, through public school, the ranks of an Indian cavalry regiment, and a long test of love and nerve. The book shows the romantic soldiering code that Wren would later carry into the French Foreign Legion.
