This familiar tale is illustrated with reproductions of paintings, tapestries, and engravings from museum collections. Falken's adaptation of the King James' version of the Genesis story is succinct and stately. Embroidered borders around the text add a unifying element to the design. Notes on provenance of the illustrations (which span from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries) are appended.
