Hurston, in this fictionalized history (?), retells the allegory of Moses and the Exodus, but this time with a mixture of Negro legend and dialect. If you know the story, this gives it a real twist. For example, she works in an old childs game after the Red Sea devours pharaoh and his army.
Old Pharaohs dead!
How did he die?
Well, he died like this!
at any rate, she does manage to spring life from the legend.
