Two illustrated versions of that wonderful classic by John Bunyan.
Dangerous Journey
Oliver Hunkin 1985
The Dangerous Journey has captivating full page illustrations that lead us through the story. Retold but still including Bunyan's original words, it's easily understood.
Little Pilgrim's Progress
Helen L. Taylor
pictures by Joe Sutphin 2021
I just bought this version written by Helen L. Taylor that retells the story with animals. The pictures are wonderful (and remind me a little bit of our version of The Wind and the Willows though it has a different artist). I started reading this at breakfast this morning to Charlotte and she was immediately captivated. As she left for the bus she said "Can we read more of that book when I get home?" And that is exactly why this story, even retold by different writers and illustrators is still such a classic.
