Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Story of Noah's Ark" by E. Boyd Smith is a children's storybook written in the early 20th century. This illustrated narrative retells the biblical story of Noah and the great flood, focusing on themes of perseverance, faith, and the importance of preparation. The book is both engaging and educational, designed to capture the imaginations of young readers while imparting moral lessons. In this version of the story, we follow Noah, a virtuous man, as he builds the Ark in preparation for the impending flood. Despite facing skepticism from his neighbors and encountering challenges, including labor disputes and the reluctance of animals to board, Noah remains steadfast in his mission. The story illustrates Noah's determination as he assembles pairs of animals to ensure their survival during the deluge. After the rain begins, the Ark becomes a microcosm of life filled with chaos and tension as animals and humans endure the trials of being confined at sea. Eventually, after the flood subsides, the Ark comes to rest, and a rainbow appears, symbolizing hope and new beginnings for Noah and the creatures, who are finally freed to explore their new world.
