"The Flood" is a poetic work retelling the biblical story of Noah and his family. Or of all the ancient books, those written by Anonymous authors are the most intriguing since the creator's personality remains a mystery. This book, by a talented person that never left a name on its cover, was created for the children of Pennsylvania in the 1850s. Each poem represents a separate scene from the history of Noah and the great flood and presents a moral message inside. It was and remains a perfect read for Sunday school lessons.
