Little Pilgrim's Progress: From John Bunyan's Classic

by Helen L. Taylor · 1980

Helen L. Taylor lovingly re‑imagines John Bunyan’s timeless allegory for a new generation, turning the epic pilgrimage of Christian and his wife Christiana into a charming adventure that children can read on their own or share with a parent. Set in a whimsical woodland where the travelers are portrayed as endearing animal characters, the story follows Little Christian as he leaves the bustling City of Destruction, faces familiar trials, and journeys toward the radiant Celestial City. Taylor’s simplified language preserves Bunyan’s core message of faith, perseverance, and hope, while award‑winning illustrator Joe Sutphin brings each scene to life with vivid, detailed artwork. Young readers ages 6‑12 will be drawn into the excitement of the quest and the deeper lesson that, like Christian, they too can declare, “I am going to the King!”
