'Does flag reflect country or does country reflect flag? To A, B, and C, travellers from the infinite River and seekers of the country of the Ideal Flag, the question is irrelevant, for both are the same. Life can certainly be trying when signs do not just denote the world but are the world; and Vexil Excelsior, based on David King's story 'Flags', published in the Canberra satirical magazine Blast, chronicles those trials unflaggingly, right up to the moment when colour itself threatens to spill out of the flag universe into our own.' (back cover blurb)
