Bright blue cloth covered boards with silver coloured titles to the backstrip. Illustrated dustwrapper (wraparound) with pink coloured titles to the front panel and backstrip. A long poem about Noah, the Ark and the animals who sailed within. "The poem is made of words from shanties, poems, songs, from puns to the Book of Revelation, but, for all its lightness, it is a serious poem and the animals have no need of words, each in their own way they are the Word made flesh, but man is gifted with a voice and he must speak. This is the story of the dawn of words in man; the man is Ham, the second son, plain man, every man." -- from front fold over panel blurb.
