This 350-year-old story tells about the adventures that a devout Christian might meet in trying to save the soul by setting out on a pilgrimage to heaven. The central character encounters such temptations in meeting Mr. Talkative, Lord Hate-good, Miss Much-afraid, and others. A sermon giver and writer, Bunyan can keep the attention of most any reader and address theological issues with great simplicity.
John Bunyan, a Christian writer and preacher, was born at Harrowden (one mile south-east of Bedford), in the Parish of Elstow, England. He wrote The Pilgrim's Progress, arguably the most famous published Christian allegory. In the Church of England he is remembered with a Lesser Festival on 30 August.
