New Delhi, (PTI) Wildlife conservationist Romulus Whitaker will come out with his memoirs in January in which he, among other things, talks about how his love affair with ‘fierce creatures’ began at a tender age when he kept a pet python in a tin trunk under his bed in boarding school.
“Snakes, Drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll”, the part of the multi-part autobiography co-written with the US-born Indian herpetologist’s wife Janaki Lenin, is published by HarperCollins India.
When his mother married Kamaladevi Chattopadhayaya’s son and moved to Mumbai, Whitaker was transplanted from a conventional childhood in the US to an exciting world of India.
