Stories from the Bible Author:Walter de la Mare "The stories contained in this volume are versions of but a few of the narratives related in the first nine books of the Old Testament of the Bible. A remembrance of what the matchless originals in the Bible itself meant to me when I was a child is still fresh and vivid in mind, and these renderings are little more than an attempt to put that re... more »membrance as completely as I can into words."
So wrote Walter de la Mare as part of his introduction to these magnificent retellings of the Bible stories that form part of our heritage.
The crisp, black-and-white illustrations are by Edward Ardizzone - and they, too, capture the dignity of the Biblical themes.« less
