NOTES
Includes P. Spier's translation of The flood, by Jacobus Revius
Retells in pictures how a pair of every manner of creature climbed on board Noah's ark and thereby survived the Flood. The bee and the fox, the sheep and the ox--two of each kind trudged aboard Noah's famous vessel. Peter Spier uses his own translation of a seventeenth-century Dutch poem about this most famous menagerie
