Illustrated by Barry Moser
Originally written at a jail cell desk in 1675, Gary Schmidt has now recaptured this story of everyman's quest for life in contemporary language for a new generation of readers. This masterfully illustrated volume offers a superb original retelling of Bunyan's beloved classic.
It is the tale of 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. Even after three centuries, this odyssey of faith and human perseverance still appeals to a wide audience, as it speaks to the experiences and stirs the imaginations of both young and old.
