LAND OF FAR BEYOND: Retelling of the Pilgrim's Progress

Beautiful clothbound gift edition of a classic adventure of good versus evil, a retelling of John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress. Peter, Anna and Patience live in the City of Turmoil, a noisy, dirty place where children can do whatever they like. It's all fun and games until they discover the heavy burdens they carry in their hearts from behaving so badly. The only way they can get rid of their burdens is by travelling to the Land of Far Beyond, a distant land that is found by taking a long, difficult path full of people who tempt them to lose their way. Will they return to the place where everyone is cruel, greedy and selfish? One day the Wanderer appears and places on the children's backs the burdens of their own unkindness. Two other children, Lily and John, accompany them, and five adults - Mr Scornful, Mr Fearful, Dick Cowardly, Gracie Grumble and Sarah Simple. Just as in Bunyan's original 1678 story, the characters try to keep to their goal and end up facing danger in this suspenseful story. 258pp with full page line art.
