Description
100 Bible stories and 400 illustrations from The Children's King James New Testament, and 100 more stores and 400 more illustrations were done for The Children's Old Testament (McGraw-Hill) Mrs. Palmer and Mr. Lee were hired to do these excellent stories and illustrations. Their instructions: Stories were to be short and simple, no more than 500 words per story; no pictures purporting to be Jesus; a single line of Scripture below each illustration, four illustrations for each story; each illustration to cover a part of the story (so the child can follow the story by relating to the illustrations). Originally, all this was done in lovely color.
