Publisher's Synopsis
Lovingly retold by acclaimed children's author, Shirley Isherwood, the wonder of ten of the best stories from the Bible are married with striking contemporary illustrations in this sumptuous collection. The immediacy of the text allows the reader an "I was there" experience as events unfold in a narrative that is variously moving, dramatic, and gently humorous. With illustrations from artists such as Reg Cartwright, Allison Reed, and Liz Pyle, this is a unique and very beautiful collection for any child. Stories featured include Adam and Eve, Noah and the flood, Jonah and the whale, and the Good Samaritan.
