"A visually rich, majestic version of the familiar story."--Carolyn Phelan "Booklist"
"Recounting the Great Flood by using several centuries' worth of images, many from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a terrific idea, and much in these pages rewards close viewing."-- "Publishers Weekly" (2/23/2015 12:00:00 AM)
