Little Pilgrim's Progress (Illustrated Edition)

Once upon a very real spiritual journey, Helen L. Taylor took John Bunyan's legendary Pilgrim's Progress—a story packed with adventure, danger, and timeless truth—and rewrote it in a way that kids could actually understand. That was nearly 60 years ago. Today, it's been given new life with gorgeous illustrations by Joe Sutphin, where every character is reimagined as a woodland creature with a role to play in the battle between truth and trouble.

Meet a brave young rabbit named Christian who sets off for the Celestial City. Along the way, he meets Evangelist the owl, Talkative the crow, Fearing the chicken, and Unbelief the weasel. These aren't just cute animals—they're living lessons in courage, fear, doubt, and perseverance. With over 90 bite-sized chapters, this edition walks readers through both Christian's and Christiana's journeys, side by side with striking black-and-white artwork and one bright red illuminated letter at the start of each chapter.

The story hasn't been watered down. It still shows the real tension of following the King through a world where temptation is loud, trials are tough, and truth matters more than ever. But now, children ages 6–12 (and even teens and grown-ups) can soak it all in—without struggling through 17th-century vocabulary.

This hardcover edition is built to last and meant to be shared. Whether you're reading aloud to younger kids or handing it off to a confident reader, Little Pilgrim's Progress will stir up meaningful conversations, sharpen understanding of Christian faith, and stick with your family long after the final page.
