Biblical Tale
Basis for Novel
The biblical tale of Noah's
Ark serves as the basis for
Barbara Cohen's new novel,
"Unicorns in the Rain"
(Atheneum).
Mrs. Cohen uses the ele-
ments of the classic story
and retells them using a
modern-day setting. In the
novel, a young girl on her
way to visit her
grandmother is sidetracked
by Sam, a mysterious char-
acter who convinces her to
join him for dinner. It is at
Sam's home, an animal
farm located far from the
city, that the story becomes
a contemporary version of
Noah's Ark.
Mrs. Cohen, who makes
her home in New Jersey,
has written several popular
picture-story books and
children's novels.
