John Bunyan could be said to have authored
one of the most influential books in the English language. But 'The
Pilgrim's Progress' is so much more than an historical novel.
Bunyan's
plan for his readers is for them to travel through this book as an
adventure through the Christian life - retold on paper and in pictures.
The story of Christian and his companions has been a favourite for
generations. John Bunyan's imaginative text brings out the same,
practical, necessary lessons that everyone needs to know - both today
and yesterday.
Additional features and study sections have been
included to help today's generation of children to understand the book.
These will help you to get behind some of the characters and places that
Bunyan describes. You will also learn about Bunyan himself through a
'life summary' and get some ideas on how to use this book. A small
number of archaic words have been changed to modern equivalents and
there is a dictionary and footnotes to provide additional help.
This
means that Christian and Faithful talk like the medieval travellers
they are, and not like modern day tourists, but you can also get what
they are on about!
