The text used in this book was
one that
had originally been chosen by Benjamin Britten from the Chester Miracle
Cycle as libretto for an opera
along the lines of Noye's Fludde. Sadly he died
before he could complete the project, but the drafted
text is printed here for the first time. There are 76
woodcuts, printed from the block, and the book,
as are all The Old Stile Press books here, is designed and printed by
Nicolas McDowall
Editions: 10 Special and 195 Main.
