For two centuries John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress was the one book, besides the Bible, in nearly every English-speaking home. Christian, a man with a great burden on his back, flees the City of Destruction and journeys toward the Celestial City — through the Slough of Despond, the fair of Vanity, and the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Written by a tinker's son during twelve years in Bedford jail for preaching without a license, it remains the most beloved allegory ever composed. This edition brings together the complete work — both parts in one volume — newly typeset and illustrated with 50 full-page color plates.
