The book includes an excerpt from a pamphlet printed at Clerkenwell in 1669, which relates the appearance of ‘a Monstrous Serpent,'” Sarah’s post on the British Library’s Living Knowledge blog reads.
The pamphlet (which she later found in the British Library catalogs) was titled The Flying Serpent, or, Strange News out of Essex.
