See Dennis Siluk's new book: "The Jumping Serpents of Bosnia" out November, 2008

“Along the coast of the Adriatic Sea lives what now is called the “poskok,’ better known as the ‘Jumping Serpent’. These creatures are some five-feet long and…can jump some three feet in the air and leap some five-feet in any direction …, simply by aiming…. But this didn’t happen by chance….” (See Intro page)

“The Tale of the Jumping Serpents of Bosnia,” was written in 12/18/02 at the Barnes and Noble, bookstore, in Roseville, Minnesota, in the deli; around, 8/2003 the tale was picked up and used by the Croatian Education System in Europe, what now is considered the short version. Next, it was picked up by several internet sites between 2004 and 2006. This is the first time in print, and with its longer version. In 2006, the author reedited, the story, and in July of 2008, revised parts of it, adding only slightly to the description, details, and explanatory elements of the tale. The back picture is of Garrison Keillor, and the author (both poets and storytellers).
