Excerpt from John Bunyan: The Pilgrim's Progress Told to the Children When the day is over, and the dark night comes, children often wander into a strange land, - the Land Of Dreams. Sometimes what they see and hear there is more strange than anything they see or hear in the wake-a - day world, and that is why, when morning comes, they long to tell their dreams to all who will listen. More than two hundred years ago, a tinker, called John Bunyan, was imprisoned in Bedford Jail. But One night the tinker left his prison and wandered into the Land Of Dreams, and there he saw wonderful sights and heard wonderful words. As there was no One to listen to his dream, John Bunyan wrote it down and had it made into a book, and the book he called The P1] grim '3 Progress. It is about the journey and adventures of a pilgrim and his companions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
