Description
Acclaimed as one of the greatest literary masterpieces in the world, John Bunyan’s beloved allegory The Pilgrim’s Progress has captivated readers for centuries. Now, children of all ages can experience the trials and joys of our hero’s journey as Christian leaves the City of Destruction to seek God’s Celestial City in The Pilgrim’s Progress Illustrated Adventure for Kids: A Retelling of John Bunyan’s Classic Tale. Author/illustrator Phil Smouse’s whimsical, full-color illustrations capture this classic tale in a way that will delight readers. While Phil retains some of Bunyan’s original words, he also uses simple and clever phrasing to help children understand the story of why Christian desires to get his heart right with God and the obstacles he faces along the narrow way. Those familiar with Bunyan’s book will be enchanted by Phil’s ingenious treatment of the conversations Christian has with the other characters. The Pilgrim’s Progress Illustrated Adventure for Kids is geared toward children up through age twelve but preschoolers will also enjoy this fanciful tale.
