ABOUT

Rattle-snakes are created by the sea fairies to amuse their children while they are away. Rattle-snakes are often the companions of the much larger A-B-sea serpents and follow them upstream when on vacation.

ABOUT

This large serpent is at least two hundred feet long and made entirely of blocks of wood. On each block is a letter of the alphabet. The head is a huge square block with a serpent’s face and long, curling, tape-measure tongue.

Serpent golems were created by sea fairies to entertain and teach their children. Greater serpent golems, sometimes known as A-B-sea serpents, are employed in the nursery of the sea fairies to teach their children letters. Once a year, the A-B-sea serpent takes a vacation with the rattlesnake to swim upriver.

Lesser serpent golems, also known as rattle-snakes, consist of hundreds of rattles, wood, celluloid, and rubber, fastened together with wires. Every time it moves, the rattles tinkle.
