8PILGRIM'S PROGRESS is one of the most popular books ever written. Long before George MacDonald and C.S. Lewis wrote their books, John Bunyan crafted the first Christian fantasy in the English language. It has subsequently been translated more often, and run in more editions than any other book, save only the Bible. It is the tale of a man, Christian, and his journey to the Celestial City. Along the way he meets various people, including Worldly Wiseman, Evangelist, Faithful, Hopeful, the Giant Despair, and many others-all allegorical representations of those feelings, states, and people met by most people on the spiritual journey. This edition contains both parts of Bunyan's original manuscript, including Christiana's journey. It is beautifully illustrated with 127 woodcuts, now once again available from the Apocryphile Press.
