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!
