Undoubtedly, John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress is considered one of the most influential books of all time. For many, it is second only to the Holy Bible and has been enjoyed by generations for more than 340 years. This whimsical allegory follows the adventures of a man named Christian who, after discovering a book and, subsequently, having a great burden grow on his back, journeys beyond the forbidden borders of his home in search of the Celestial City and its King.
This story book accompanies an animated film: The Pilgrim's Progress Animated Movie, but I can find little info about the movie, or when it is supposed to be in theaters. This is a good introduction for children of the original book.
I mean it's the Pilgrim's Progress. It's never going to be anything but a stilted allegory for me. I tried to reread the original Bunyan as part of my re-read my own shelves project and gave up pretty quickly because it is really, really boring.
