In Noah's Ark

by Rumer Godden

In this story in verse, Rumer Godden has created a new and delightful myth out of the eternal legend of the Flood. Her hero is a creature not usually mentioned in Noah's passenger list: Pegasus, the only single animal in the ark. His disturbing effect on others, and his conquest of Ham, Noah's son, through the power of the imagination, may be said to provide the drama of the piece.
