An alternative cover for this ISBN can be found here

Walker is my name and I am the same. Riddley Walker. Walking my riddels where ever theyve took me and walking them now on this paper the same.

Composed in an English which has never been spoken and laced with a storytelling tradition that predates the written word, Riddley Walker is the world waiting for us at the bitter end of a nuclear road. Desolate, dangerous and harrowing, it is a modern masterpiece.
