Book Synopsis
In the year 2036, the whole of Kingsby county has been flooded after several weeks of torrential rain. Only a few villages have escaped the flood. One of these is the village of Pennyworth, where Tom and Jenny live. When the inhabitants of nearby Brook Falls arrive and attempt to lay claim to Pennyworth, a struggle ensues that places the residents of each village against each other in a battle of wills that threatens to change all their lives forever. Can Tom, Jenny and their friends persuade the new arrivals that a conflict can be avoided before all is swept away by The Flood That Did Come? A story of struggle, childhood friendship, and archaic bureaucracy in a little England drowning in its own future past, The Flood That Did Come is the debut graphic novel from artist, writer and musician Patrick Wray, told in woodblock stamped artwork reminiscent of classic childrens' stories.

Trade Review
“We have a proud tradition in this country of using fiction and fantasy – especially those presented in the aspects of kids’ books – to hold up a light to political and social dystopias. This one is supremely, chillingly good at what it does. The industrial-flavoured visuals magnificently disguise the potency of the political allegory and make this a tale no tuned-in, socially aware grown up will want to miss.” - Now Read This
