This is a beautiful book, with pictures just as they should be to
convey the idea behind the allegory, without making it too
moralistic and stodgy. For after all Pilgrim's Progress must have a
basic human drama to have held its own through the successive
generations since its first appearance. This text, retold and
shortened by Mary Godolphin, successfully steers away from the
prosy long-windedness that dates it, and presents the essential
story for today's children. (Kirkus Reviews)
With an Introduction by Professor Stuart Sim. John Bunyan was
variously a tinker, soldier, Baptist minister, prisoner and writer
of outstanding narrative genius which reached its apotheosis in
this, his greatest work. It is an allegory of the Christian life of
true brilliance and is presented as a dream which describes the
pilgrimage of the hero - Christian - from the City of Destruction
via the Slough of Despond, the Hill of Difficulty, the Valley of
the Shadow of Death and Vanity Fair over the River of the Water of
Life and into the Celestial City. The Pilgrim's Progress has been
translated into 108 languages, was a favourite of Dr Johnson and
was praised by Coleridge as one of the few books which might be
read repeatedly and each time with a new and different pleasure.
