According to Jacques: A Mersey Bible is the third published work of Brian Jacques. Since Jacques was from Liverpool, England, the book was written in the dialect of Scouse, an English accent dialect found primarily in the Metropolitan county of Merseyside, of which Liverpool is the chief city.
The book is a collection of his poetry that parodies many stories of the Old Testament in the Scouse dialect or featuring a setting of Liverpool.
The original recommended price was £0.60p, or roughly $0.98. The book is currently out of print.
Titled poems include:
-
"On the Eighth Day''
-
''Adam 'an Eve''
-
''Caynanable''
-
''Skroll from a Skolar''
-
''Noah's Dream''
-
