Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Little Pilgrim's Progress SAMPLER
Helen L. Taylor · 2012
82/100
👍 Worth It
For Christian families this is close to essential — Helen Taylor's adaptation makes Bunyan's profound allegory genuinely accessible to children without hollowing it out, and Joe Sutphin's illustrated woodland-animal edition gives it visual magic. Over 800,000 copies sold is not an accident. Keep in mind that this is a sampler, so the full picture of the book's depth is only partly on display here.
