Publisher Description

This book for all ages is a great choice for young readers, as well as for families, Sunday school teachers, and anyone who wants to read John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress in a clear form.
All the old favourites are here: Christian, Christiana, the Wicket Gate, Interpreter, Hill Difficulty with the lions, the four sisters at the House Beautiful, Vanity Fair, Giant Despair, Faithful and Talkative – and, of course, Greatheart. The list is almost endless.
The first part of the story is told by Christian himself, as he leaves the City of Destruction to reach the Celestial City, and becomes trapped in the Slough of Despond near the Wicket Gate. On his journey he will encounter lions, giants, and a creature called the Destroyer.
Christiana follows along later, and tells her own story in the second part. Not only does Christiana have to cope with her four young brothers, she worries about whether her clothes are good enough for meeting the King. Will she find the dangers in Vanity Fair that Christian found? Will she be caught by Giant Despair and imprisoned in Doubting Castle? What about the dragon with seven heads?
It’s a dangerous journey, but Christian and Christiana both know that the King’s Son is with them, helping them through the most difficult parts until they reach the Land of Beulah, and see the Celestial City on the other side of the Dark River. This is a story you will remember for ever, and it’s about a journey you can make for yourself.
Chris Wright is the author of over thirty books, starting with young fiction for an English Christian publisher in 1966.

Marvelous Adaptation!

This is a great alternative for anyone who wants to avoid the Elizabethan English and/or the long & tedious philosophical passages later in the book.
(Truthfully, concerning this second point, I'm relying on the author's promise in his introduction.). I have read the 1st two chapters, and it's living up to its promise admirably so far.
I've read the original a few times, and I'm very curious to see how Mr Wright handles so many of the events to come -- particularly some of the numbingly tedious passages.

I should also mention: this book includes both of Bunyan's two volumes, Christian's journey, and then his family's journey.
