If you think reading the classics means Cliffs Notes, this adventure story will change your mind! Not just another rewrite in simpler language or an abridgement, Gary Schmidt's new retelling blows the cobwebs off John Bunyan's dated language and puts his classic story into contemporary English that will stir your imagination and keep you turning the pages to see what happens next. Masterfully illustrated with 50 dramatic watercolors, it's as much fun to look through as it is to read! Originally written at a jail cell desk in 1675, John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress quickly grew in popularity second only to the Bible itself, and has seen countless editions and printings over the years. In this edition, Gary Schmidt has recaptured this story of everyman's quest for life in contemporary language. It chronicles Christian's spiritual journey from the City of Destruction to the Heavenly Palaces, including the pitfalls and graces that threaten and fortify his epic pilgrimage. Recommended for ages 7 and up. |
