One day he is called to the kitchen by his distressed landlady only to find that The Archangel Michael has come down the chimney and has a message for them. The Archangel tells Mr. White and Mrs. O'Callaghan that there is going to be a flood and to, shades of Noah, prepare for a flood and build an ark. He?d have to find a way to start the world again too even though he had always been a confirmed batchelor. He?d do it all ? as long as he didn?t have to save the elephants and the kangaroos!* This is a NEAR VG+ copy of the 1st./1st. thus with some age and shelf wear.*
